The announcement of a headlining
tour leaked out of Florida & Georgia earlier this week and spread clear
across the country. Florida Georgia Line released the schedule for their Here’s to the Good Times Tour. This is a
major milestone for the duo of Brian Kelley (Florida) & Tyler Hubbard
(Georgia) who released their FIRST record earlier this year on December 4th.
The Republic Nashville group (part of Big Machine Label Group) now finds
themselves traveling around the nation performing their songs.
The single on that
album, “Cruise” was an immediate hit and propelled itself to a top 10 song
after just 14 weeks and has since sold millions of copies. The hit song drew the attention of
millions of fans, one of them being the rap and hip/hop legend Nelly, who
helped boost the bands popularity by collaborating on a Remix. The duo isn’t
dependent on just one hit though, as their album is full of other jams such as
“Get Your Shine On” and “Round Here”.
FGL is apart of
the new wave of country music that we are beginning to experience, bringing a
strong presence of rock and rap, along with a unique combination of lyricism to
their songs. These rookies are not a household name…yet, but it is crazy to
think that they have their first headlining tour after releasing just one
album. To put this in perspective, lets look at the headliners for the top
country tours going on in 2013 according to gatv.com: Kenny Chesney, Jason
Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley,
Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Toby Keith and George Strait… These are the top artists in the game
right now, and to throw FGL in there with their own national headlining tour means
that these dudes are legit and here to stay.
