Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line both have plenty of musical talent, but if they could add to their skills, Brian says, “If I could play anything else in another life I would love to grow out my hair and be a drummer in a rock band and just not wear a shirt and be sweaty. That’s what I’d like to do.”
Tyler Hubbard’s ambitions are a little less sweaty. He says, “I’d like to get better, I actually play the piano just a little bit and I would love to get better at that. If I ever get some free time I’ll start practicin’.”
For now, Tyler’s free time is limited since Florida Georgia Line is out on their Anything Goes Tour. They’re also quickly approaching a possible seventh consecutive #1 song with their latest single, “Sun Daze,” which is currently in the top five.
