"When I was just starting my music career, my father and I had the opportunity to go out on the Opry stage after a show, and I took his photo in the circle," Preston explains (quote via Nashville Country Club). "When he offered to have my picture taken there, I stepped forward but quickly stopped in my tracks and thought to myself, 'No, your time will come. You have to earn the right to stand there.' After eight years of hard work, it happened tonight and it was every bit as magical as I had hoped."
"This is like winning the Super Bowl," Chris adds. "We've dreamed about this for a long time. The emotion is overwhelming."
The guys may be enjoying success of their own, but it's a song they wrote for another album -- 'You're Gonna Fly,' on Keith Urban's 'Get Closer' -- that has them talking.
"It's about a girl who might be coming out of a broken relationship and a tough time in her life and have a little broken wing, but she's gonna fly with me ... if she gives me the chance," Preston tells The Boot. "It's an uplifting love story, and three rookie writers came up with it, and we wrote it in about an hour. It came out and it just clicked. It's our first cut!"
"What a good way to start," Chris chimes in. "How are we gonna top that one, huh? We're retiring, we're done!"
The pair will spend most of the summer on the road. See their entire schedule here.
