Hey y'all, welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living.

I'm your host, Sid Evans, and today I'm talking with someone whose voice some of you might recognize

from his work in the long-running country duo, Florida-Georgia line.

Tyler Hubbard was born and raised in Monroe, Georgia, where he grew up working in the garden with his family,

competing in motocross races, and playing music at his church. He met his bandmate, Brian Kelly,

at Belmont University in Nashville, and by 2012, Florida-Georgia line was one of the hottest

acts in country music. These days, he's entered a new phase in his life and career. He's a

father now with a wife and three kids, and after taking a break from recording with Kelly,

he's also reintroducing himself to fans as a solo act. His new album, Strong, has just come out,

and he has a big tour ahead of him with Kane Brown. We'll talk about all that,

how he's now gardening with his kids, and the father he misses every day on this week's Biscuits

and Jam.

Tyler Hubbard, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Hey, thanks, Sid. Appreciate you having me. How are you?

I'm great. Where am I reaching you right now?

I'm in Nashville.

Okay. Well, I know you're headed out on a tour before too long, and I just want to say

congrats on the new album. It's called Strong

and that's your second album since you've gone solo. It's great. Sounds great. I just listen to it.

Thanks, Sid. I appreciate it, man. Yeah, I'm excited to get that album out and share it with the

world and it feels really good as something I'm really proud of and even more excited to play

them live.
