Later, Overstreet's childhood friend Ian Keaggy(born on June 16, 1987) joined the band as bass player. They later changed from their previous drummer, McCoy Gibbs to the lead singer, Ryan Follesé's younger brother, Jamie(born on December 30, 1991).Overstreet is the son of country music singer-songwriter Paul Overstreet and the brother of actor Chord Overstreet.
