ABOUT BRIAN KELLEY:
Best known as the Florida half of the record-setting superstar duo Florida Georgia Line, Ormond Beach-native Brian Kelley is embarking on a sandy solo adventure with Big Machine Records. With “American Spirit” as his first solo release, the patriotic anthem offers a tribute to one of the nation’s sacred symbols and brave defenders who honor it with their service. Currently hosting a 20-date SURF POST SESSIONS’ SECOND WAVE OF SUMMER residency at Tribe Kelley Surf Post in Grayton Beach, FL – owned by him and his wife Brittney – this marks a new music era for the history-making artist-songwriter who debuted solo effort SUNSHINE STATE OF MIND in 2021, and made a splash with sold-out audiences on his MADE BY THE WATER TOUR, as the chill-Country champion captures his lifelong connection to the Florida coast. Co-writing and co-producing the project alongside Corey Crowder for an elevated version of his typical party-ready FGL energy, the set matches Kelley’s anything-goes ethos with a new sunshine-Country strut. It’s the latest piece of a creative empire which has already made Kelley and his FGL partner, Tyler Hubbard, one of the best-selling Country duos in history and true business moguls. Alongside a chart-topping catalog boasting 2020’s LIFE ROLLS ON (BMLG Records), 19 career #1 hits, and being the only act to achieve two RIAA DIAMOND-certified singles in Country music history (“Cruise” and “Meant to Be” with Bebe Rexha), the pair maintain thriving business initiatives like FGL House, plus a reputation as electrifying, stadium-thrilling headline performers. Diversifying his enterprise, Kelley is also hands-on with projects like MAY WE ALL: A NEW COUNTRY MUSICAL with his production company CuzBro Productions, and a partnership with Oyster City Brewing Company. In addition, his collaborations with Brittney include cult-favorite brand Tribe Kelley and limited NFT collection, Chill Cowboy Country Club (CCCC).
