Florida Georgia Line Premier Video for “Get Your Shine On”

By on February 25, 2013 in In The Press

Hot Country duo Florida Georgia Line have premiered their brand new video for “Get Your Shine On” today!

The exclusive VEVO debut was directed by Declan Whitebloom and shot on the white sandy beaches of Cancun, Mexico and features exciting scenes from the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun property. From dawn until dusk every day, the newcomers proved their love for all things aquatic from racing jet skis to filming underwater. The guys and their crew made a few “new friends” during a little lucha libre. The team also survived a flat tire on a deserted road while making their way to Tulum.

Florida Georgia Line Sell Out Shows Nationwide

The follow-up to FGL’s Double Platinum, multi-week #1 smash “Cruise” is poised for similar success. “Get Your Shine On” has sold over 300,000 copies to date and is already a Top 20 hit. Both are featured on their Republic Nashville debut album, “Here’s To The Good Times,” which earned the highest debut album sales of 2012 for a new Country artist.

Florida Georgia Line

Republic Nashville’s rising country duo Florida Georgia Line is proving to be a red-hot concert ticket! The newcomers’ upcoming headlining shows are selling-out in lightning speed – less than one day – across the country. FGL is one of the fastest-selling acts for Ram’s Head in Baltimore, MD; Myth in Minneapolis, MN; Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA; Grizzly Rose in Denver, CO; Washington State University in Pullman, WA and Granada Theatre in Lawrence, KS. The recognition places them in a select group of artists such as Beastie Boys, Jay-Z, Motley Crue, Fall Out Boy, Smashing Pumpkins, who have set venue sales records. Adding to the good times, the duo’s multi-week #1 debut single “Cruise” has officially been certified DOUBLE PLATINUM by the RIAA for selling over 2 million copies.

“We are completely blown away by all of the support from our fans and Country radio,” says FGL’s Brian Kelley (Ormond Beach, Florida). “We dreamed about selling one million songs back when we first started playing together and to have now sold two million is so surreal.”

By on December 3, 2012 in In The Press

Debut Album, Here’s To The Good Times, Available Tomorrow, December 4th

Florida Georgia Line, Here’s To The Good Times Hot new duo Florida Georgia Line has more than enough holiday cheer to wrap up the year. The newcomers have topped the Country radio charts – earning their first U.S. #1 – with their debut single “Cruise,” which has been certified PLATINUM by the RIAA for selling over 1 million copies. Tomorrow (12/4), they will release their aptly-titled debut album, Here’s To The Good Times, on Republic Nashville.

“We’ve been completely amazed by what ‘Cruise’ has done. To have our debut single sell over a million and be #1 on the week our debut album is out. … we are so thankful. We can’t wait to meet all of you out on the road,” said FGL’s Tyler Hubbard of Monroe, Georgia.

FGL’s Brian Kelley from Ormond Beach, Florida agreed, “I remember jokingly telling Tyler when we were recording that ‘Cruise’ was going to sell a million copies and I can’t believe it’s actually a reality. We’ve been working so hard to give our fans something they can bob their heads along to and a way for them to get to know us a little more. We think this album accomplishes that and has something for everyone.”

Canaan Smith and Tyler Hubbard Song “Black Tears” To Appear On Jason Aldean’s New Album

By on October 16, 2012 in In The Press

Mercury Records singer/songwriter Canaan Smith and Tyler Hubbard of the band Florida Georgia Line have the honor of having their song on superstar recording artist Jason Aldean’s new album Night Train which will release on October 16.

“I wrote this song with Tyler one day back in college at Belmont,” Smith says. “I never thought it would be cut by someone as great as Jason Aldean.”

He adds “I think he did a killer job. I respect Jason’s ability to stretch himself and push the envelope as far as songs and production go.”

In an interview for Billboard magazine, Aldean says “Honestly, I think it’s one of the most well-written songs on the record. Like ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ and songs like that, it allows us to branch off in a different direction and try something new.”

Smith has also written hits and cuts for other artists such as Love and Theft, Amy Grant/Billy Ray Cyrus and Craig Morgan.

Album Review: Florida Georgia Line ‘It’z Just What We Do’

By on May 18, 2012 in Album & Song Reviews

I know, I look like I just made a big typo in the title, right? ha  No, but I’ll readily admit that you’ll see a typo from me on occasion no matter HOW much I proofread! 🙂 

‘It’z Just What We Do’ is the name of this brand new 5-song EP from up-and-coming country duo, Florida Georgia Line, comprised of Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard.  Released on iTunes just this week, it’s already doing quite well on the iTunes country chart and seems to be creating quite a buzz about this new duo.  There’s also sure to be more buzz created as they are embarking on the 2012 Country Throwdown Tour that features headliner Gary Allan along with Sunny Sweeney, Josh Thompson, Justin Moore, Eric Paslay, Rodney Atkins, and more artists.

This new EP is just plain fun to listen to.  It’s the type of music that is both catchy and just takes you away from your troubles for a bit.  I enjoyed the blending of their two voices together and found the album very easy to listen to.  Very radio-friendly.  I didn’t have to listen a second time to decide if I liked it or not, I just do and it immediately caught my interest.  I wouldn’t say the lyrics have deep emotional depth, but I found it to be very catchy combined with the excellent musicianship I heard on this new release.   There wasn’t a song that really pulled at my heartstrings, but overall I found this new release very enjoyable, filled with uptempo tunes, stellar production, and I imagine live that these guys are quite fun.   Plus, I’m sure all of the ladies will take quite an interest in them, too!

My favorite songs on the album are “Get Your Shine On” and “Tell Me How You Like It”.

Find them on iTunes and give them a listen!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars.
