New artists who haven't yet signed with a record label, often find it difficult to get slots on national tours. That wasn't the case for Brian Davis, though, who is currently in the midst of his second trek with Brantley Gilbert. However, Brian did have quite the advantage when it came to securing his spot on the current Hell on Wheels tour.

"We had mutual friends in Nashville that kept saying, 'If you guys sat down and wrote songs together, it would be amazing,'" Brian tells The Boot. "Because of our schedules, we were both in different directions. Then, by happenstance, we ended up playing a show together in Raleigh, N.C., and I was finishing up my soundcheck. I was playing a song that I'd written the week before and Brantley came in and asked who wrote it. I said I did, and he was like, 'That's really cool.'
