Florida Georgia Line brings their own unique brand of music to country music, and they say a lot of their sound is a result of being open to inspiration from all types of music. Brian Kelley says, “I think we’re constantly inspired by other music and we’re constantly inspired by our life and everything that we’re goin’ through, everything that we see, our fans and the stories that we hear from them. So, we like to stay in the mix and listen to new music.”
They also like to listen to older music for inspiration. In fact, Brian reveals, “I’ve been listenin’ to some old records with my wife. Man, we’ve been makin’ coffee in the mornin’ and hangin’ out with our dogs listenin’ to some records.”
As their latest single, “Confession,” moves through the top ten on the charts, Florida Georgia Line is finalizing their next album, which they will release later this spring.

Florida Georgia Line – influenced by other music :21
Brian Kelley – “No doubt man. I think we’re constantly inspired by other music and we’re constantly inspired by our life and everything that we’re goin’ through, everything that we see, our fans and the stories that we hear from them. So, we like to stay in the mix and listen to new music. I’ve been listenin’ to some old records with my wife. Man, we’ve been makin’ coffee in the mornin’ and hangin’ out with our dogs listenin’ to some records. So, pretty cool.”
