“We met at a house party and started writing music together. It just has been an incredible journey,” shares Smyers. “hearing you talk about all those stats is kind of crazy…because we are here in Nashville, and I am looking down the street and looking at the same roads we used to drive down while trying to make it in this town and trying to write country music,” he adds about their record-breaking streaming numbers and the “pinch me” moment they are experiencing.
