“It’s good to be back out on tour with some of our best friends, Nelly and Chris Lane,” exclaims FGL’sBrian Kelley. “If it’s any indication of our ballpark tour a couple years ago, this should be the party of the year! We are excited to see and connect with all of our fans, and make as many memories as we can.”
FGL and Nelly first collaborated on a remix of the duo’s epic 2012 debut single, “Cruise,” a DIAMOND-certified hit that reached No. 4 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 chart. Since then, they have teamed up for numerous concert and award show appearances. Lane broke out in 2015 with his addictive GOLD-certified No. 1 debut, “Fix,” and is currently out on FGL’s 2017 DIG YOUR ROOTS TOUR.
FGL’s electrifying 2017 DIG YOUR ROOTS TOUR is on the road now, selling out shows in support of their chart-topping BMLG Records DIG YOUR ROOTS album. The project has already delivered back-to-back No. 1 singles with the 2X PLATINUM-certified “H.O.L.Y.” – which spent an incredible 18 weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart – and GOLD-certified “May We All” (featuring Tim McGraw). The duo’s third chart-rising single, “God, Your Mama, And Me,” is a knockout collaboration with Backstreet Boys. Watch their new music video here: smarturl.it/GYMAMpremiere. To date, the undeniable duo has notched 12 chart-topping singles.
