Hello to all of our wonderful Australian friends and CMC! 

We just wanted to check in and say hi since it has been a while since we have seen you and the amazing Australian landscape. So much has happened since we were there with Taylor Swift last year, but our days down under are still on our list of some of the best times we have had on tour... EVER!   

Since then, we have been on the road touring festivals, fairs and clubs non-stop with really cool artists like Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, LeAnn Rimes, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley and Kellie Pickler. We also had an incredible adventure traveling to the Middle East to play for the troops - hard to describe just how cool that was! Even with all of the touring this year, we kept writing songs and then got to record our brand new album in between shows. 

We are so excited about this new CD! It's called A Thousand Miles Left Behind and all three of us had a hand in writing every single song on the album, so as you can imagine it's very personal for us and we're just really anxious for everyone to hear the songs we've been living with for the past year! We just released our second single off the new album called '(Kissed You) Good Night', which is a song Tom wrote about how guys always have to make the first move and then if you don't, you agonize over it and wonder if you should have just done it you know? We actually just shot the music video a couple weeks ago in Nashville, and two of our friends Tyler Hilton (from One Tree Hill) and Megan Park (Secret Life of the American Teenager) played the lead couple so we can't wait to see it! It looked and felt exactly like we wanted it to while we were filming so there's no doubt we'll love the finished product.

So that's what we've been up to, Australia. We're all kind of hoping and praying that our touring schedule brings us back to you someday soon because you guys KNOW how to be an awesome crowd. Since we're traveling all the time we're constantly checking Twitter and Facebook and it's cool to see you guys are there even though you live so far away. Please keep in touch ok? You guys are awesome and we can't wait to see you again!

Love,

Tom, Rachel, and Mike
