Here are 5 interesting facts about Florida Georgia Line.

  • The band consists of Tyler Hubbard (Hometown: Monroe, Georgia) and Brian Kelley (Hometown: Ormond Beach, Florida)... Hence the name "Florida Georgia Line."
  • Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley met while they were both students at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.
  • Garth Brooks is a big inspiration to both singers.
  • Both Hubbard and Kelley are fans of hip-hop, in particular Lil' Wayne. "Everybody in the high school parking lot was either blaring some country music or blaring rap -- and I guess over the years it just kind of comes together somewhere in the middle," Hubbard told CNN.
  • In their hit "Cruise," the pair mention "a brand new Chevy" -- and each received brand new Chevy Silverados from a Georgia car dealership in appreciation.
