Trevor Rosen, guitarist and keyboardist for the Nashville-based band said timing couldn91裸聊视频檛 be better to be starting the tour with song Written in the Sand hitting number one on Canadian country charts.
91裸聊视频淲e have a number one Canadian song while we91裸聊视频檙e in Canada, how great is that?91裸聊视频� he said with a laugh during an phone interview with the Western News from a hotel room in Calgary.
Written in the Sand puts music and lyrics to a familiar question women and men ask when in a new a relationship: 91裸聊视频淎re we written in the stars, baby, or written in the sand?91裸聊视频�
The song is a track off the band91裸聊视频檚 sophomore album Happy Endings released in summer 2017. The album peaked at number one on U.S. Country Charts and produced another hit single No Such Thing as a Broken Heart.

Although the five-member band, including Matthew Ramsey (lead vocals), Whit Sellers (drums), Geoff Sprung (bass guitar), Brad Tursi (guitar) and Rosen, are hitting a high note it wasn91裸聊视频檛 too long ago they were struggling to be noticed.
91裸聊视频淚 remember playing for $50 and free beer,91裸聊视频� Rosen said. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檒l never forget those days. There are times, we have all these employees now and multiple buses and trucks, we look at it and remember the five of us in a little minivan touring around.91裸聊视频�
All the Old Dominion members have a long history in Nashville but as writers not frontmen.
91裸聊视频淚 grew up playing in bands. I moved to Nashville for various reasons, mostly for the writing. But I think we all dreamed of getting a record deal at one time or another. At some point we all decided we wanted to be the best writers we could.91裸聊视频�
Members have written hit songs for country greats including Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton and many others.
Rosen said in the earlier days of the band they used to play a lot of covers, but now fans want to hear their originals.
91裸聊视频淭hey want to hear us and that91裸聊视频檚 great,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淲e love playing music. We loved it when we were in a band and broke. We love it now and are excited all day till we get to play.91裸聊视频�
