Reigning CMA and ACM Awards Vocal Duo of the Year Thompson Square made an appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on Tuesday to debut their new single, “Everything I Shouldn’t Be Thinking About,” from their latest album, Just Feels Good.

The singer returned to find the streets and businesses he'd known and frequented since he was a kid in tatters, and neighbors beginning the recovery process.
