An Alabama teenager moves to Los Angeles with dreams of success in movies, television, and anything he can get hired to do. Of course, very few locals make it to Los Angeles and find success as working actors.

This is the story of one such young person who lived the dream and found success. A quick look at his film/television credits shows 79 projects on his Hollywood resume. That's quite a few projects and evidence of his success in the entertainment industry. His name is Linc Hand, and his mother, Edie, still lives and works here in Alabama.

There's other exciting news to share. Linc's wife is becoming a star in her own right. Her name is Victoria Renee, and she has acted in several projects, but more importantly, she has been the vocalist on multiple film soundtracks. However, she recently formed a trio and has been signed to a country music record label. The band is called the RustRiders. The band is built on three-part harmony and features Ryan Curtis, Victoria Renee (Linc's wife and another Alabama success), and Jon "Lovebone" Gus.

They have a new EP out, and they joined WFFN-FM's top-rated Steve & DC  to talk about their Los Angeles story and debut the new single, "High Life". Check out the interview and the song below:
