Old Dominion are frequent touring partners with Kenny Chesney and now they are musical collaborators with their song "Beer With My Friends." When they were asked what Kenny does better than anyone else in the business, Matthew Ramsey had a lot of nice things to say. "He's a master.

"He knows how to just live and breathe everything he stands for from top to bottom. So, you can really learn a lot from being on tour with him.

When she went to pick up her two sons and some of the neighbourhood children, the bottle fell to the ground and broke right in front of a teacher. Needless to say, Caroline was pretty flustered when the teacher came over to help her clean up the broken glass.
