<p>Beaufort tends to be a little out of the way when it comes to the concert circuit for major touring musical acts. But locals will get a chance to see a mainstream act later this week when country music act Florida Georgia Line plays on the big screen at the Highway 21 Drive-In on Saturday, June 12, thanks to Encore Drive-In Nights.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The never-before-seen show by Florida Georgia Line was recorded live, along with guests Nelly, Chase Rice and show-opener Shy Carter, exclusively for this one-night only event at drive-ins and outdoor venues across the country, in Canada and in Ireland.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>About the band&nbsp;</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Florida Georgia Line – a 2010-founded Nashville duo consisting of singer-songwriters Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley – dominated the country airwaves with their 2012 debut single “Cruise.”&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The song was downloaded more than 7,000,000 times, making it the best-selling digital country song ever. It spent 24 weeks at No. 1 and remains their most popular song to date. The song and the duo are considered to be at the forefront of a style of country music often called "bro-country," incorporating production elements from rock and hip-hop music.&nbsp;</p>
