SUMMARY:Darin and Brooke Aldridge
DESCRIPTION:Darin and Brooke Aldridge are excited. And why not? With two new band members\, a new record label\, and five original songs on their latest album\, the bluegrass and Americana duo are back with This Life We’re Livin\,’ their ninth recorded project together and first release on Billy Blue Records. This Life We’re Livin’ celebrates the space the husband-and-wife team now occupies – the top of bluegrass music. \nArmed with the talents of the proverbial Triple Threat of uniquely distinctive singing\, commanding instrumental skills\, and accomplished songwriting\, Darin and Brooke continue to ascend to new heights in the industry while maintaining their easy-going\, down-to-earth connection with audiences everywhere. Brooke\, a former runner-up on TV’s Nashville Star\, is a four-time consecutive winner and reigning Female Vocalist of the Year for the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA). She is nominated for a fifth time in 2021. Once a six-year member of The Country Gentlemen with the late Charlie Waller\, Darin is a former IBMA Mentor of the Year and a truly gifted singer and multi-instrumentalist. Together with their band – Billy Gee on bass\, Samantha Snyder on fiddle\, and Jacob Metz on banjo and resonator guitar – Darin and Brooke have been recognized with the IBMA’s nomination for 2021 Vocal Group of the Year. They have had multiple nominations over the years from the IBMA\, the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA)\, and the Inspirational Country Music Association. They have enjoyed top spots on the Billboard\, SiriusXM\, Bluegrass Today\, Bluegrass Unlimited\, Americana/Roots\, and Gospel charts. Their music videos have been featured on Country Music Television (CMT)\, CMT Edge\, Great American Country (GAC)\, Bluegrass Ridge TV\, and The Bluegrass Situation. Their television appearances include PBS’ Mountain Stage\, Songs of the Mountain and Music City Roots; RFD-TV’s Larry’s Country Diner\, Country’s Family Reunion\, and The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour; Great American Gospel\, The Bluegrass Road\, and Blue Highways TV. Their long-held dream to one day play the Grand Ole Opry came true on July 4\, 2017\, and since then\, they have graced the Opry stage more than 30 times. \nTheir rise became especially meteoric when they joined forces in 2016 with John Cowan\, who plays bass for The Doobie Brothers and is a member of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame as cofounder of New Grass Revival. This collaboration has led to performance opportunities with artists ranging from bluesman Keb Mo’ to stints with Country Music Hall of Famers Vince Gill and Jimmy Fortune (The Statler Brothers). Says Cowan\, “When someone asks me what I love most about Brooke and Darin\, my response is – everything! Brooke’s angelic singing\, Darin’s rock-solid baritone tucked up under her wings\, their musicianship. But mostly\, it’s their commitment to their beliefs that renders them to be gracious\, concerned\, and helpful to all they encounter. My music and interior life have been so tremendously enriched by the gift of their friendship.”
