Call it pushing the boundaries or redefining country music, but Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line say their music is all about growing and improving. Like the title of their latest album, they believe Anything Goes. Tyler says, “We’ve always been big fans of just gettin’ out of the box a little bit, kinda breakin’ the mold and just not settin’ any boundaries. So, I think that kinda represents where we’re at right now and with the title of the album. I think the whole album kina reflects that. We’ve kind of tried to step our game on all levels and write better songs, perform better shows and just do our thing and try to take it to the next level.”
Florida Georgia Line’s latest single, “Sippin’ on Fire,” is in the top ten and continuing to move up the charts. They say they plan to go into the studio in October, after they wrap up their Anything Goes Tour, to begin working on their next album.

Florida Georgia Line – out of the box :24
“Yah, it’s been a wild ride, and we’ve always been big fans of just gettin’ out of the box a little bit, kinda breakin’ the mold and just not settin’ any boundaries. So, I think that kinda represents where we’re at right now and with the title of the album. I think the whole album kina reflects that. We’ve kind of tried to step our game on all levels and write better songs, perform better shows and just do our thing and try to take it to the next level.”
