Joel Crouse is currently the next big thing to hit country music and today The Lab NYC's Arthur Kade got the opportunity to sit and talk to him. Crouse, who was hand picked to be on the "Red" tour with Taylor Swift, says "It's such an amazing opportunity to be able to share the stage with her, from that tour I've learned so much from just stage presence to, gaining fans and just meeting new people and making friends so it's been such a great time" Crouse talks to us about the transition from singer-songwriter to performer, saying that he has always loved writing songs from an early age, but he started singing in church and had started a band early on in his career as well. Joel tells us that he was in a sushi restaurant in Indiana when he got the call that he would be on the "Red" tour. "I started screaming, freaking out, the whole restaurant is looking at me now, cause I'm like jumping up and down."
