"We're honored to have been named a Finalist for America's Next Top Hitmaker," said the brothers. "We are proud to have had the opportunity to represent country music in this contest and show others what our music is all about. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for us over the countless days and weeks. We may not be bringing home the title of 'America's Next Top Hitmaker', but we have already won by having so many dedicated supporters in our corner. We definitely couldn't do any of this without y'all! Thank y'all a million times over!"
The artist with the most votes at the end of the competition earns a feature story in The Rolling Stone Magazine, an opportunity to perform at the Future of Music Showcase in Austin, Texas in March 2025, and $10,000.​
