‘GIVING BACK’: One country music duo explains how they give back to military families after serving in the Marines and Army themselves
"I've always loved country music. I grew up in Colorado working on ranches and doing rodeo," Brown exclusively told Fox News Digital backstage at the. "I joined the Marine Corps, never played a guitar in my life, but I started off with a kind of cowboy poetry."
Brown picked up a guitar in the Marine Corps and fell in love with music. He had "every intention" of staying with the Marines, "doing 20 years and retiring." But just before reenlisting for his second term, he decided to pursue music.Reis started playing the violin at a young age and received a full music scholarship to attend Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
I rediscovered mine," Reis said. "I had the epiphany that I was being an idiot and that I needed to get back. I needed to get back into my music and take advantage of the blessings and the talent that I've been given.", they had different experiences serving at different times.
He emphasized "this promise that you make, like, ‘Hey, if I make it out of here alive, I better live a life that is worth living and worth the sacrifice that our brothers and sisters paid that didn't get to come home.' "I think that it shows in the music because, as songwriters, as creators as well, you know, that's a part of our story."
