In May, husband and wife duo Thompson Square were among Luke Bryan Dirt Road Diaries tour when a road suddenly appeared. Keifer had flown his voice and ordered to go on complete vocal rest.
Reluctantly, the "If I do not have" singer issued a sincere apology and canceled two weeks of shows.
"Words cannot express how devastated we both are to bring this news to our fans," Keifer wrote at the time.
Now they are back on the road with tourmates Bryan and Florida Georgia Line, Hot 20 Countdown CMT Katie Cook met with the team to check the progress of Keifer. I also got the lowdown on how Shawna handles being the only girl in the group and what it feels like to “cruise” and “collision parts “with two of the country's most popular artists.
How is the atmosphere here in Luke Bryan tour?
Shawna: It's fun. It is exactly what you see. Lucas is crazy and you never know what to expect.
Keifer: We will have a blast. It is an incredible journey and it is our first tour as main act , so we have to stretch a little and exercise to sweat larger.
Shawna, were the envy of women here in the U.S. a couple of weeks because her husband was resting vocal ago - no offense. It’s all back to normal?
Keifer : I thought you were going to say because he was married to me . But let's go with that.
But the handsome quiet side, which would not take that for a few weeks? Now everything is back to 100 percent?
Keifer: You know, I did not know the extent of the damage. I've been abusing my voice I guess for years. You were like, "You're going to have to have surgery. One has a hemorrhage. Going have a polyp. “I’m just like, "I lost a little bit of my voice,” you know? I was like, “What’s going on.” Was hoarse. And they said, "Let's find a way to make it less invasive.” So, two weeks off.
Shawna: Two weeks and lots and lots of prayers of our fans.
Keifer: We went back and he was like I sang that week, I went back and says " The bleeding is gone. “: . “Everything is almost completely gone “He was like, “what have you done?’I was like, “Man, I said nothing. All I was doing was praying. “My voice is a point I have not been able to do what I'm doing for a year and a half, almost two years.
Wow, so you’re very, very happy. I know their fans are happy. So Lucas has another guest here , Florida Georgia Line . Any duo rivalry?
Shawna: No, not at all.
Keifer: There is always going to be the duo rivalry. But personally, no. Everybody takes place here and it's just a little big happy family here.
Well, you have a big fan of Sheryl Crow. I do not know if you've seen this tweet recently. I will read to you. "Happy to be home from the road, the coffee in the kitchen, children play on the floor, ' If I do not have ' on the radio. Ahhhhh.... "
Shawna: We were very excited to see that and we played a show with Sheryl. We threw a guitar with her, and she was kind of a special guest. When he came out, the first thing I did was sit down with your guitar and sing a bit of "Are You gonna kiss me or not.” Keifer and I are big fans of it, so it meant a lot to us.
Keifer: And she looked over and winked at us a little eye and I was like, “Sheryl Crow just sing my song!” Now she's tweeting about another I wrote, that's awesome. Having respect for someone like that is fine.
Shawna, you're like the only girl here on this tour. What about that?
Shawna: I know, it's so weird. It really is. You know, we were out with Lady Antebellum last year, so at least I had Hillary [Scott ] . We would get nails done occasionally and so on . But yes, it is very rare to be the only girl.
Keifer: A lot of testosterone to deal with.
Would you are keeping everything in line?
Shawna: I do not know. I have a lot of problems with this. I do not know if I could keep that many kids online.
Keifer: Now that I can talk again, I'm like "I'm back baby!” And she's like “Oh God, I liked you when you were silent.” She does well, though. She's a tomboy so he is accustomed.
