Florida Georgia Line add a unique flavor to the country music mix with songs like their latest single, “Sun Daze,” which causes some people to want to define FGL’s place in country music and where they fit in, but Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard aren’t worried about things like that. “We just think it’s important to keep our head down and keep workin’ and doin’ what we’re doin’,” says Tyler. “And to be honest man, I’m worried about Tyler and BK’s worried about BK, and together we’re worried about Florida Georgia Line, and that’s about it.”
They try to keep up with what other artists are doing, but they don’t spend a lot of time worrying about how it compares to what they’re doing. Tyler says, “For the most part, we’re worried about playin’ shows, writin’ songs and givin’ our fans what they want and tryin’ to live the best as we can.”
They hear the chatter that goes on around them but Tyler says, “We don’t really let it affect us very often.”

Florida Georgia Line – role in country :29
Tyler Hubbard – “We just think it’s important to keep our head down and keep workin’ and doin’ what we’re doin’. And to be honest man, I’m worried about Tyler and BK’s worried about BK, and together we’re worried about Florida Georgia Line, and that’s about it. We’ll try to keep up with stuff and what’s happenin’ in the news, and with Country and all that, but for the most part man we’re worried about playin’ shows, writin’ songs and givin’ our fans what they want and tryin’ to live the best as we can. So for us, we hear it all, but we don’t really let it affect us very often.”
