what are the names of florida georgia line singers
Florida Georgia Line Florida Georgia Line (sometimes abbreviated as FGL) is an American country music duo consisting of vocalists Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley. Their 2012 debut single "Cruise", which remains their most popular song, broke two major sales records: it was downloaded over seven million times, making it the first country song ever to receive the Diamond certification, and it became the best-selling digital country song of all time, with 24 weeks at number one, until it was surpassed in July 2017 by Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road".[4] "Cruise" helped to pioneer a style of country music known as "bro-country", which incorporates production elements from rock and hip-hop music, and tends to cover subject matter such as partying, drinking, driving trucks and romantic attraction.[5] Much of their subsequent music has been tagged with the "bro-country" label as well.[6]
Alabama (American band) Alabama was formed by guitarists Randy Owen and Jeff Cook, and bassist Teddy Gentry, three cousins born and raised near Fort Payne, Alabama, an area with strong country music roots.[4] Owen and Gentry grew up on separate cotton farms on Lookout Mountain (a plateau that stretches across northeastern Alabama, through northwest Georgia and into Tennessee), learning guitar together and singing in church before the age of six.[5] Gentry and Owen played in numerous groups during the 1960s, ranging from pop to bluegrass.[5] Cook joined the band in 1969 forming the group Young Country, which first jammed together around Christmas.[4] Cook also played in numerous bands and was a rock and roll disk jockey.[5] The three cousins all shared vocal duties, with another cousin, drummer Jackie Owen, completing the group's first lineup.[4] The band's first performance was at a high school talent contest (playing a Merle Haggard song), for which they won first prize and tickets to the Grand Ole Opry.[6][5] Despite this, all were busy with prior commitments to pursue music: Owen still in high school, Cook working for Western Electric, and Gentry laying carpets full-time.[4] The band grew further inactive when Cook went to college and Owen into the military.[5]
