Elaina admitted that the music video for LOCASH’s song “Ring on Every Finger” always blew her mind, especially how the duo managed to film in a Las Vegas casino, considering it’s typically not allowed. Chris joked, “We don’t even know if we were allowed or not.” Preston laughed but acknowledged how “unbelievable” it was, with Chris adding, “The only other person that has done it was Bruno Mars where he drove the jet ski through the thing in Vegas.”
Preston then asked, “Can you imagine how much money was stopped for a few minutes while we shot on the casino floor? I mean, Vegas doesn’t stop those machines for anything.”
Elaina was curious about how they managed to pull it off. Chris explained that the casino owners were willing to make it happen, adding, “It was just a fun time. What a fun video that was. The song is so awesome. The song was funny because Thomas Rhett wrote this song.”
LOCASH’s Collaboration with The Beach Boys
Elaina confirmed with LOCASH their collaboration with The Beach Boys, which led to the latter’s Grand Ole Opry debut. Chris recalled, “Yes, we were sitting backstage at the Opry, and we were talking to Dan (Rogers, senior vp/executive producer) and we said, ‘Hey, man, we’re not big enough, but maybe The Beach Boys are.’”
Preston shared that Chris ordered $5,000 worth of leis on Amazon, saying, “Yes, and then they arrive at my house, of course, everything he orders arrives at my house.” He joked, “I walked out on the porch, I was like, ‘I just got lei-d!’ So anyway, I take all these leis to the Opry, I give them to Chris, and he personally puts one on every single seat in the whole Opry. That’s precious!”
Chris did not take the full credit though and admitted he had a couple of ushers help him. Preston joked that they would not be invited back to the Opry anytime soon, noting, “Somebody said we need to rehearse backstage and they’re like, ‘Where’s Chris?’ I said, ‘He’s making sure the Opry gets lei-d tonight!’ And so, they’re never having us back!”
