The duo will celebrate the album’s release with a hometown show tonight at the Don Gibson Theater in Shelby, North Carolina. On February 16, they’ll share the new music with their Nashville area fans at The Franklin Theatre (Franklin, Tennessee) when they open for Cowan.
“There’s been a real sense of excitement building around this release since we started the recording process,” observes Brooke. “We’ve continually pushed ourselves and our limits, and we truly believe that this our best record to date,” adds Darin. Many of the songs from FASTER AND FARTHER use natural landmarks as metaphors for the heart, and present an inspiring project from masters of the genre in the process. Immaculate vocals, soaring harmonies and these well-crafted Bluegrass, Country and Gospel tunes make this 12-track CD a must-have for the serious music fan. The disc includes songs by Ian Tyson, Carl Jackson, Jim Rushing, Pat Flynn, Jerry Salley and other legendary hitmakers.
