Big Machine’s newest duo, Waterloo Revival, recently experienced their first CMA Fest and just a couple weeks later joined us here at New England Country Music for NECMtalk. Fresh off a radio tour, they let us and their fans in on what the lived off of on that radio tour, their previous desk jobs, and broke the news during the live Twitter chat that ‘Bad For You’ will be their next single. Check out the transcript below.
