Grimes is no stranger to the country music world. He recently announced that he's pursuing a country music career. He's working with Range Media Partners, the team behind Midland and his Yellowstone co-star Ryan Bingham, and is planning to go to Nashville to write songs.
Grimes, who was raised in Ohio, is a longtime fan of country music and even played drums in an L.A. country band.
"I hate this word, but the 'secular' music that I was allowed to listen to as a kid was Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash," Grimes told Rolling Stone. "That's the stuff my dad grew up on in the Appalachian Mountains. When he didn't have to be a pastor, he was playing that sort of folk and country-rock."
Yellowstone is set to return for a fifth season. The new season will begin production in May.
