Making music is a big part of Florida Georgia Line, whether it’s writing songs for their own albums, like their latest single, “Simple,” or writing songs for other people.  But the guys have so much pent up creativity that they’re constantly finding ways to get it out, which explains their multiple side projects. “Anything like The (FGL) Boathouse, the (Old Camp) whiskey, the FGL House, that all comes down to creating,” explains Brian. “We love creating songs, spaces for people to come enjoy architecture, enjoy the views, enjoy cool food.”

Whatever they create, FGL wants to make sure it has a purpose and that it’s something they can proudly put their name on and put out into the world.  For instance, Brian says, “Food that has intention, whether it’s grass-fed burgers or just different takes on art all throughout.  So we’re big on just making everything our own and creating places that people can party and create memories.”

While this has technically been an “off year” for Tyler and Brian, they’ve hardly been sitting around twiddling their thumbs.  Brian and his wife recently opened the Tribe Kelly Surf Post in Grayton Beach, FL.  The FGL Boathouse is under construction, also down in Florida.  FGL has been working on new music for their next album, and they’ve already released three of those songs – “Simple,” “Colorado” and “Talk You Out of It.”  Plus, they’ve been playing various festivals, writing songs for other people and preparing for the FGL Fest music festival, happening September 8^th at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  Tickets and more details are available at IMS.com.
