On Episode 317 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with the boys of Deltona for a rowdy conversation about how the three-piece came together and why they're determined to bring some fun, energy and rock-and-roll attitude back into country music. The guys share how a Bluebird Cafe clip on Instagram ultimately connected them, leading to their first writing sessions and the realization that they needed to start a band. The conversation dives into Deltona's love for the era of Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean and big, in-your-face country records, along with how that influence has shaped songs like “Cared Enough to Cry,” “The Country” and their latest release, “Point of You.” They also talk about signing their publishing deal with Sony, building a team around the band and carving out their own lane while country music continues to evolve. Deltona also opens up about learning how to become a live band in real time, bringing maximum energy whether they're playing for 15 people or a packed crowd, and getting opportunities alongside Lee Brice, Jordan Davis and Dustin Lynch. From early shows and road trips to the loyal fans already buying into what they're building, this episode is a look at a young band having a hell of a time while chasing something much bigger.
