Throwback Thursday: Dustin Lynch at His First ACMs In 2012

Back in 2012, Dustin Lynch was trying to get his name out there with his first QYK hit single “Cowboys and Angels.” I remember he played to a no-so-packed bar in Lakeland that year.

Back in 2012, Dustin Lynch was trying to get his name out there with his first hit single "Cowboys and Angels." I remember he played to a no-so-packed bar in Lakeland that year. 6 years later, he's the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry and headlining the QYK Guitar Pull November 7.

Check out the pictures from Dustin's first ACM Awards appearance. Walking on stage with Carmen Electra? Not a bad way to make your debut buddy!
