Description

Darin and Brooke Aldridge (self titled) features this rising duo of beautiful young newlyweds singing and playing a rich combination of bluegrass and bluegrass gospel.  Bluegrass Unlimited, says they set a new standard of excellence in bluegrass gospel. This release on Crossroads Music was produced by Nashville veteran Jerry Salley.  Audiences in every venue have been stunned by the conviction, commitment, and depth of their performances.  Presenting songs of faith in God and love of each other, their communication with their audiences and each other is extraordinary.

Brooke's voice is powerful and emotional. Darin's harmony work is tightly matched and phrased as only family can do.  If you think of the old Everly Brothers kind of duets except one voice is female and one is male, you can begin to understand what a fresh new sound they have. It is old but new; still bluegrass but also contemporary acoustic music with perfect instrumentation. 

Darin Aldridge first played music in public when he was six years old.  Learning to play banjo in order to join his first band, Straight and Narrow, he was encouraged to switch to mandolin when he showed an aptitude for it while teaching someone else to play.  Since then, teaching has been one of his consistent activities. He now teaches in his studio as well as at the Gaston County School of the Arts in Gastonia.   After work with several other bands, Darin joined the Country Gentlemen and toured with them for seven years until Charlie Waller’s sad passing in 2006. With the Country Gentlemen, he played at the White House.  He has been nominated for the SPBGMA mandolin player of the year award four times.
