Hey y'all, welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living. I'm your host, Sid Evans.

And in this episode, I'm talking with someone y'all probably know as half of the country music duo Florida, Georgia line.

Brian Kelly was born and raised in Ormond Beach, Florida, just north of Daytona. At one point,

he thought he might have a baseball career ahead of him, but when he didn't make the road team at his

beloved Florida State, he spent his free time discovering the power of music. He also ended up

heading to Daytona State College, where the

baseball coach taught invaluable lessons of perseverance that have served him well to this day.

Now that he and his Florida-Georgaline partner, Tyler Hubbard, have each gone solo,

Brian has a new album called Tennessee Truth. We'll talk about all

that, plus his love of fishing, the new Santa Rosa Beach burger joint that he's a partner in,

and how his early involvement in the church introduced him to playing live music. All in this

week's Biscuits and Jam.

Brian Kelly, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Thanks for having me.

Appreciate it.

Where am I reaching you right now?

Down in Florida.

I'm in our little pool house.

It's got two names.

During songwriting season when I'm going at it, it's the song saloon.

Fishing season, it turns into the tackle box.

I like it. So this is your hideout. This is your place, your designated place.
