Luke Bryan (Spring Break 7) OC: …stuff like that. :50
“We had thought last year was probably gonna be the last year, but when we got down to [Panama City] and there was like 200,000 people going crazy on the beach, and then we realized if we do one more EP and then put ‘em together, we can do one more physical album. So, we started planning it kinda realized that this would be the last year, and I have been jokingly saying that it has been pretty nice to continue Spring Break well into my ‘30s. I feel like I’ve done a lot better than my other buddies, because they certainly haven’t been going to Spring Break and partying with a bunch of college kids. But, it’s been fun. It’s been amazing to be able to go down there and do the Spring Break shows every year and get inspiration for new songs and new tours and tour ideas and stuff like that.”



Audio / Luke Bryan says his Spring Break shows have always been a highlight each year.

Luke Bryan (Spring Break 7) 2 OC: …endeavors. :24
“Historically, if you go back, it’s always been one of the highlights of my year going down and doing the show, just ‘cause it’s hard to turn down that much fun. It gives me a sadness to have to let it go, but we feel it’s time and I’ve got some fun stuff in order music-wise that will turn into other fun endeavors.”
