Unique vocal talent, accomplished songwriting and commanding instrumental skills are just a few of Darin and Brooke Aldridge’s gifts. Brooke is a four-time consecutive winner for Female Vocalist of the Year for the International Bluegrass Music Association and together with their band, they were nominated for 2021 Vocal Group of the Year.  

Their latest album, This Life We’re Livin,’ is a warm, cohesive collection that takes you on a journey into the lives and story of Darin and Brooke. It features original standouts, including “Grand Ole Circle,” “Livin’ Mama’s Dream,” and “My Life’s Living Me,” which offer a clear-eyed commentary on the joys and challenges of their musical success.   

We are proud to welcome this North Carolina-based duo to Durham for an evening of unforgettable bluegrass at American Tobacco Campus.
