RECORD CHART DEBUT FOR ROUNDER'S DARIN & BROOKE ALDRIDGE Inner Journey Premieres At #2 On Billboard

NASHVILLE – November 4, 2019 – Bluegrass/Americana duo Darin & Brooke Aldridge have made their highest career chart debut as their new album Inner Journey, on Rounder Records, hits the #2 spot on Billboard’s Bluegrass Album Chart. The husband and wife team also debuted for the first time on the trade’s Top New Artist Album chart, Americana/Folk Album chart and Current Country Album chart. Inner Journey was released on October 18.

Darin & Brooke bookmarked their release week by launching the album in front of packed-house in their home state of North Carolina at the Don Gibson Theatre, and two stellar performances on the Grand Ole Opry. The first show (10/23) was held at the Grand Ole Opry House, and the second (10/24) was at the historic Ryman Auditorium giving them the opportunity to perform on two historic stages in as many days. They spent time before their performance with fans in The Circle Room and autographed copies of the new album following both shows.

Hot on the heels of Brooke’s third consecutive IBMA win for Female Vocalist of the Year, the Aldridges will be appearing on PBS’s David Holt’s State of Music which begins airing nationally on November 13 (check local listings). The duo will perform alongside their good friend and occasional touring partner John Cowan.

Upcoming tour dates for Darin & Brooke include appearances at the Charlotte Folk Society (11/8-Charlotte, NC), An Evening with Rory Feek (12/7-Columbia, TN), Christmas with Darin & Brook Aldridge (12/20- Elkin, NC) and the 2019 Darin and Brooke Holiday Concert (12/21 – Kings Mountain, NC).
