Larry Fleet recorded the music video for one of the best new Country songs of the year, Where I Find God, at Lake Martin this spring, but if you’d asked him three years ago what he thought he’d be doing now, that wouldn’t have been his answer. The sensation behind the come-from-nowhere hit would have said he’d be working hard, pouring concrete to support a wife and baby and playing guitar for barn parties on the weekends. Instead, he’s made his debut on the Country tour with singer/songwriter/actor Jake Owen and has appeared on stage with Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, Jon Pardi and other greats.

Fleet has retreated to Lake Martin every summer for four years with his wife, Phebe, staying with friends who are more like family; jumping off the dock, smoking meat, wake surfing and eating good food.
