Florida Georgia Line Playing BI-LO Center This Fall

Over the past year, Florida Georgia Line has cherished the good times seeing their quadruple platinum debut single “Cruise” dominate Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart at No. 1 for 19 straight weeks, the longest stretch for any song in the past 50 years and their aptly titled, GOLD-certified Republic Nashville debut HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES top the Billboard Country Albums Chart. The breakout duo has taken home ACM and CMT awards and scored opening slots for Taylor Swift’s THE RED TOUR and Luke Bryan’s DIRT ROAD DIARIES TOUR. This fall the buzzworthy newcomers will celebrate with their fans nationwide on their first headline run -- HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES TOUR 2013.

Kicking off October 3 in Brookings, SD, the HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES TOUR will go through December. The 32-city tour features openers Colt Ford, Tyler Farr (select dates) and Dallas Smith (select dates). Already becoming a hot ticket, the first show to go on sale – 10/19 at Whitaker Bank Ballpark in Lexington, KY - sold out in a record-breaking 23 minutes with 10,718 tickets. 

“We can’t wait to give our fans what they have been asking for all year … our own headline tour,” says Tyler Hubbard. “It is unreal and the first night of the tour can’t get here fast enough!”

Brian Kelley shares, “This is another dream of ours coming true. I couldn’t be more excited and more proud of the tour. Having Colt, Dallas and Tyler along with us is going to make for a party!” 

Florida Georgia Line has skyrocketed since releasing back-to-back, multi-week #1 smashes in the US and Canada with the PLATINUM-certified “Get Your Shine On” and “Cruise,” which combined with the Top 10-and-climbing (Top 40 Charts) remix featuring Nelly, has sold nearly 5 million downloads. The record–breaking duo, comprised of Tyler Hubbard (Monroe, Georgia) and Brian Kelley (Ormond Beach, Florida), is the first in 21 years to top the Country airplay charts with their first two singles, according to Billboard. The ACM New Artist of the Year and New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year winner’s current single “Round Here” is Top 20-and-rising at Country radio.

Garnering buzz among fans, media and several Superstars across genres – including Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Ed Sheeran – the hot newcomers most recently scored two CMT Music Awards for Duo Video of the Year and Breakthrough Video of the Year as well as a Teen Choice Awards nomination for Choice Country Group. Fans ages 13-19 can vote once a day via teenchoiceawards.com, with results airing August 11 at 8P ET on FOX. VEVO has selected FGL for the coveted LIFT program, offering exclusive content across the world’s leading all-premium music video and entertainment platform.

Colt Ford’s latest album, DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, was released on Colt’s own Average Joes Entertainment and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE included the hit, “Back,” a collaboration with Jake Owen. Recently nominated for Fox Network’s American Country Awards for 2012’s “Breakthrough Artist of the Year,” Colt penned two #1 hits in 2012; Jason Aldean’s “Dirt Road Anthem,” and Brantley Gilbert’s, “Country Must Be Country Wide.” Colt has sold over a million albums, millions more song downloads and has over 10 million YouTube views. In addition to being a gifted songwriter and artist, Colt is also a former PGA Golfer.  www.coltford.com

Columbia Nashville artist Tyler Farr has redefined “Redneck Crazy” with the release of his first Top 20 single to Country radio. The classically trained vocalist has earned critical acclaim for this hit single, including raves from The New York Times, Music Row, and All Access.  Currently still climbing the Mediabase Country and Billboard Country charts, “Redneck Crazy” also continues to gain traction in the video world, with over 2 million views for the song’s video on VEVO and counting. With the launch of his debut album, REDNECK CRAZY, set for October, Tyler’s fan base also continues to grow, with Facebook users growing more than 600 percent in the last three months alone. The Missouri native is currently on tour for select dates with Lee Brice and was just announced as an opener for Florida Georgia Line’s first headlining tour, beginning in October. Fans can keep up with Tyler by visiting his web site at www.TylerFarr.com or by following him on Twitter @tylerfarr. His single “Redneck Crazy” is currently available here: http://smarturl.it/redneckcrazy.  

Hailing from Vancouver, Dallas Smith brings a healthy dose of rock and roll power to his brand of energetic country music. Producer Joey Moi (Jake Owen, Florida Georgia Line) captured Smith’s unique energy and unmistakable vocals throughout his breakout country debut, JUMPED RIGHT IN, featuring the smash lead single, “Somebody Somewhere,” and follow-up Top 10 hit “If It Gets You Where You Wanna Go.” Smith is currently touring all across Canada and his dynamic live show gained the attention of musical legend Bob Seger who previously selected him for a coveted opening slot on his Canada dates.  The CMW Radio Awards Best New Country Group/Solo Artist winner is currently in the studio with producer Joey Moi working on his first U.S. release via Big Loud Mountain Records. www.DallasSmithMusic.com
