Nashville, TN (June 3, 2013) – Breakout duo Florida Georgia Line
debut the brand new music video for “Round Here” on CMT and CMT.com
today (6/3) with subsequent re-airs promoted across all of CMT’s digital
platforms and 5.3 million social media fans. The video will air at the
top of each hour throughout the morning in “double shot” rotation,
paired with their recent hit videos “Cruise” and “Get Your Shine On.”
The 24-hour, exclusive world premiere will highlight FGL’s hometowns of
Ormond Beach, Florida (Brian Kelley) and Monroe, Georgia (Tyler
Hubbard).
The two-day shoot with Director Peter
Zavadil captured several scenes in each city, featuring the duo’s family
and friends as well as some of their favorite hangouts. Using visual
elements to show the duality of their backgrounds, the video also
depicts what unifies their “country boy charm” – performing for a crowd,
beautiful girls, cool cars and a “here’s to the good times” attitude.
“Round Here” is the follow-up to FGL’s
consecutive, multi-week #1 hits – the recently PLATINUM-certified “Get
Your Shine On” and TRIPLE-PLATINUM-selling debut “Cruise,” whose remix
(featuring Nelly) has ascended into the Top 10 on the Top 40 chart.
According to Billboard, “FGL is the first duo in 21 years to
top the Country airplay charts with their first two singles,” from their
GOLD-certified Republic Nashville debut album, HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES.
FGL is nominated for three 2013 CMT Music Awards, including Video of the Year; Duo Video of the Year and Breakthrough Video of the Year, as well as the Nationwide “On Your Side” Award
for the best new live act in Country music. The awards show will air
live from Nashville on June 5 at 8P ET/PT on CMT and CMT.com.
The hot newcomers also scored a Teen Choice Awards nomination for
Choice Country Group. Fans ages 13-19 can vote once a day via
teenchoiceawards.com, leading up to the show on August 11 at 8P ET on FOX.
Garnering buzz among fans, media and
several Superstars across genres – including Taylor Swift, Keith Urban
and Ed Sheeran – the ACM
New Artist of the Year and
New Vocal Duo/Group of the Year
winners are currently touring with Luke Bryan’s DIRT ROAD DIARIES TOUR
