A Surprise For A Young Fan When Country Star Luke Combs Reaches Into His Pocket After Noticing The Signs

Country music star Luke Combs came to Bangor, Maine to sing. What he did not expect was that he was going to be given a chance to teach some powerful lessons to his fans, especially to the young generation.

Seeing the country singer live was everything for the young fans of Luke Combs. But actually finding a way to get there was not easy for them. That is why Combs did not take their efforts for granted.

Bo Fenderson, 12, and his friend, Tanner Hale, wanted to attend the event. However, it was not easy for them to make it happen. They simply could not afford it. That’s why they made sure to find a way.

Bo said, “I prayed for it to happen. I hoped, I prayed, and it happened.”

Tanner Hale said, “Hard work pays off.”

Talking to WABI, Desiree Fenderson said, “The concert was brought up and it was an immediate, yes. But, the tickets were pricey so it was, ‘Well we can take you… and earn and you know if you guys could buy your own tickets, we could make a half’ and they said yes, and I think it was a great lesson for both of them, and for all of them.”

And of course, they will not let the concert pass without making signs for their idol to notice them.

One of the signs read:
“We made 100 bucks stacking 5 cords of wood, bought 2 Luke Combs tickets, man he sounds good.”

Another read:
“Our dads swore it was a waste of time, oh but they were wrong! Today’s my 12th birthday. Oh Lord, when it rains it pours!”

Combs immediately noticed the signs that the boys were holding up for him to see. He approached the end of the stage and asked them: “How much were your tickets? A hundred dollars? $200? Y’all paid $200, a hundred dollars apiece. Oh my God, I think I only got … I got $140 right here. Y’all want that, pay yourselves back. I’ll get you some more.”

During an interview, later on, Bo shared, “He pulled out $140 to pay for our tickets.”

In addition, Combs also autographed hats for the boys. He gave them more merchandise after the show which made his young fans really happy.

Tanner said, “I was surprised that he took the time away from his concert to sign all our stuff.”

Justine Hale, Tanner’s mother shared, “For him to take time to acknowledge and truthfully reinforce something we try to instill in our children that hard work pays off is truly amazing.”

The boys ended that day not only with an experience of a lifetime of seeing Luke Combs live but also with a lesson that will last with them for the rest of their lives.

Bo said, “The two most important things in life are hard work and kindness.”

His mom added, “He’s a great role model to take the time and do that, and really acknowledge what they did. It wasn’t just Luke, it was the rest of the staff too that made it happen and made it a point to come to find us and the boys and fulfill that promise that he made to them. I think for all of the sisters, the cousins, and the friends that they all learned a valuable lesson.”

Justine also said, “I just think it’s really an amazing thing for him to have done this to reinforce lessons that we try to instill in our children.”

WEBB-FM later reported that Luke Combs felt that his voice was not up to par during the show. So he ordered that everyone at the show get a refund. He also proceeded to put on a show that lasted over an hour.
