Luke Bryan and Jake Owen were among the first artists to participate in Live for Facebook Mentions yesterday, a real-time streaming service that allows fans to interact directly with artists through a live-chat and video feed.
Bryan, who is currently hitting the pavement this week promoting his upcoming album Kill The Lights, chatted with fans and performed his song “To the Moon and Back.” Written by Hillary Lindsey, Tom Douglas, and Tony Lane, the song is romantic and emotional, and Bryan sings it beautifully, mentioning its potential status as a wedding song down the road. Aside from performing, Bryan also chatted with fans. The videos already have a combined viewership of over 2 million.
