It's this Friday y'all! The 5th Annual Taste of Country Christmas Tour will be at The District Lafayette in a few days featuring Dustin Lynch and we want to make sure you are well educated in Dustin Lynch-ography. He sat down for an interview with our friend at The Boot and was quite telling to say the least and we wanted to share his thoughts with you. Here is what The Boot uncovered about this hit maker.

The first celebrity he ever met was:
"Vince Gill. It was an inner-city children's golf tournament. I was there to help out, and Vince was there to be the celebrity guy. I told him I was in town to write songs, and kind of took me under his arm and he said 'I'm glad you're here,' and he took me over to his car and showed me some new golf clubs that nobody had yet, that weren't even on the market."

His first celebrity crush was:
"Reba McEntire. The Queen."

The first thing he notices about a girl is:
"Definitely her smile and her eyes. I don't know which one comes first. If we go deeper than physical, I notice her sense of humor pretty quick."

The best pick-up line in his opinion:
"My guitar. I have no game. That's why I pick up the  guitar."

The sexiest woman alive in his opinion is:
"Kate Upton."

The sexiest man alive in his opinion is:
"The Dos Equis guy." ('The Most Interesting Man in the World')

If he could meet a famous historical figure, he would want to meet:
"Davy Crockett."

If he could be anybody else in the world, he would be:
"I wouldn't wish that upon myself at all. If I could live in somebody else's shoes for a certain moment, it would have to Garth (Brooks) bacck in his heyday. I would love to actually be in his boots and figure out why he's doing what he's doing."

One place he would love to visit is:
"Australia. I would love to go Down Under and see what's going on down there."

One smell that he loves is:
"Any kind of baked cobbler. But here's the weird smell that I love that people have always thought was funny. I love the smell of skunks. Driving down a back road, and you smell a skunk that's sprayed or been hit. I love that. It reminds me of home."

If he could shop at just one store it would be:
"Bass Pro Shops."

His favorite brand of jeans is:
"I've been rocking these Levi's lately. They're 527s."

Boxers or briefs:
"Briefs."

His favorite brand is:
"Calvin Klein."

His favorite thing to do on a day off is:
"To ride back roads, find a field, kick back and listen to music."

One song that always makes him cry is:
"'Ships That Don't Come In' by Joe Diffie"

His worst habit is:
"Not being able to turn off. I'm a very laid-back guy, but my brain is always wrapped up in music."

His guilty pleasure movie is:
"'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation', 'Step Brothers', or 'Wedding Crashers.'"

If he had a job outside of music, it would be:
"If I could be involved in the hunting and fishing industry, that would be amazing. That said, I studied biology in college, and that led into me being really involved in anatomy and being a pre-med major. So, probably something in the medical field."

One job he would never want to have would be:
"I've already had! The day I got a call from my now manager, I was working in a sewage treatment testing facility. With my biology degree, I got this job at an environmental lab. We tested sewage runoff, we tested chemical warfare waste runoff. It's a job I'll never do again and I would never wish upon anybody. It was motivation to get my music in gear, though. It was the kick in the butt I needed. In desperation, you make things happen."

One thing that scares him is:
"Fear of failure. You're always looking for a thumbs-up. Ronnie Dunn and Alan Jackson are still trying to have hits. They've had 20 years of hits, but they're still looking for a thumbs-up. You put a piece of your heart out there, and you just hope that people love it. But that's what makes this job fun, sometimes people don't love it. Failing the ones that love me is a big fear of mine."

A dream he has is:
"To make a difference in [country music]. If I can have one song 20 years down the road that people will want to play in this genre, that's a dream of mine."

A cause or charity he's involved with is:
"I helped start the Junior Advisory Board of the W.O. Smith School of Music in Nashville."

Now that we are properly educated in Dustin Lynch-ography, I think it is safe to say that we are also prepared for him to be here with us for the 5th Annual Taste of Country Christmas Tour this Friday at the District in Lafayette.

Doors open at 7pm and opening up for him will be country newcomer Logan Mize. Tickets will be $20 at the door, but if you get yours in advance they are only $15. They are available at Schlotszky's on Pinhook and Johnston Street, Pogie's Pour House in Carencro off of Veteran's Drive, and Ranch Outlet off of I-10 at Gloria Switch. If you can't make it in to any of these locations, they are also available here.

And we will see you for 5th Annual Taste of Country Christmas Tour this Friday with Dustin Lynch!
