“It’s a fun vibe, and the thing I love about FGL is their appreciation for all kinds of music,” he says. “They’re country artists but they’re real fans of music, period, across the board. They know their hip-hop. They know their R&B. They know their pop.”

FGL currently share the radio airwaves with the Backstreet Boys on “God, Your Mama and Me.”
