00:00Well, we got Scotty McCreary. We got Tiger Lily Gold. We got George Burge.

00:04And it's time to reveal another QYK guitar pole artist right now.

00:09And I'm very excited about this one because he is very well known.

00:13You know him. You've been a fan of his for a long time.

00:17Let's just get into it. QYK guitar pole artist, please reveal yourself.

00:22What's up, Tampa? It's Brian Kelly.

00:24This ain't a margarita. Can I get your number? Meet me by the water text. Hooking up. See you next summer. See you next summer. All the same.

00:38Brian Kelly. Yes. Let's go.

00:42BK on the phone, my friend. How are you?

00:45I'm doing great. How about y'all?

00:47Good, man. We are so excited. I mean, we get to see you at our QYK guitar pole, which we're so pumped about.

00:53It's just Brian Kelly with a guitar on a stool, kind of getting back to the basics, right?

00:59Yeah, we're stripping it down, man.

01:00I'm just really excited to be back in Tampa and connect with everybody and just have a really, really special night.

01:07It's going to be awesome.

01:08Well, it's kind of cool because you've done all levels of Tampa.

01:11You've done Dallas Bowl. You've done the amphitheater.

01:15Ray J. I think you've played Ray J.

01:17You've played Ray J.

01:19And then now we're like, we're going to play a theater.

01:21So, I mean, we're getting to see you in all different lights.

01:25But since this show is at the Mahaffey Theater, tell me some things that you like about theaters.

01:29You know, the thing, like you said, a theater with an acoustic guitar stripped down, it's extra casual in a great way.

01:37You know, when you do an arena show or amphitheater show or stadium show, you are in, we got to blow the roof off of this place.

01:43And there's a designed show, you know, kind of throughout the whole thing.

01:48And you can say different things and you can get a little bit off script, but you can really take your time and really just have a different kind of moment.

01:57And they're both, they're all great, but it's just a different thing.

02:00And yeah, when it's just you and a guitar, extra guitar player, you know, you're going to be able to have a little bit more time to really kind of, it's just a different thing.

02:08And that's why I like it.

02:09You know, this year has been a lot of different kind of shows for me, you know, and different setups with my band and, you know, different opportunities.

02:16And I'm just grateful for each one, you know, every, every show I've played, no matter what kind of setup, you know, I feel like I'm gaining momentum, really connecting with fans.

02:26You know, you were talking about doing, talking about going back to your roots and getting back to the basics.

02:30Can you remember a time, maybe like your first public acoustic gig you ever did?

02:37Yeah, I can remember a couple of them for sure.

02:39Where were you?

02:39I want to say one, like maybe my first one was at Belmont in Nashville, Tennessee, when I was at school there.

02:46I did like an open mic night and at the, what was it, the Curb Cafe, I want to say it was right there.

02:52Shout out.

02:53Belmont.

02:54Yeah, yeah, I just got up there and ripped one acoustic.

02:58That's great, man.

02:59That's all we want from you at QYG Guitar Bowl.

03:02Yeah.

03:02Just stop in, man, and just be you.

03:04I mean, we love it.

03:05Cool, cool.

03:06Yeah, it's just a fun night, and we are so excited that you are joining our lineup, and we're going to have a chance to hang with you coming up on November 12th.
