Florida Georgia Line is following Dierks Bentley's example in closing their Nashville restaurant and bar. The FGL house will continue to pay employees.

The duo posted to a video to Instagram just minutes ago saying in part "Live from the treehouse in quarantine town."

The guys said they are taking Dierks Bentley's lead and also giving their employees a thousand dollars while they are closed to help out.

They posted, "@fglhouse would be nothing without our amazing staff. We know it takes a village, and we’re so thankful for all 117 of you and we hope this helps out while the bar and restaurant is closed. We’ve been blessed by y’all and we are excited to follow @dierksbentley lead here and #giveback. With much love and gratitude - bk and T."
