Ormond Beach native Brian Kelley, formerly of Florida Georgia Line, has just released "Tennessee Truth," which he views as his first true solo album. This release comes nearly two years after his initial solo effort, "Sunshine State of Mind," which was created during the latter days of the duo's activity. Unlike his previous work, which was influenced by his experiences in Florida, "Tennessee Truth" represents a new beginning for Kelley, where he fully embraces his individual artistic vision. The album is released through Big Machine Records as Kelley aims to establish his own legacy separate from the now-defunct duo. Visit Brian’s website: https://tntruth.officialbriankelley.com/
