Darin and Brooke Aldridge, the highly acclaimed Bluegrass and Americana duo, are back with "Talk of the Town", their tenth recorded project together and second release on Billy Blue Records and celebrates the space the husband-and-wife team now occupies - the top of bluegrass music.Released on April 19, 2024, "Talk of the Town" debuted #1 on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Album Chart (their first Billboard #1 album) and produced the #1 single, "Price I Pay", made famous originally by the Desert Rose Band. The band’s lead singer and member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Chris Hillman, was so excited when he heard their version before release that he asked and was granted its radio debut on his show on Sirius XM. In another twist, Desert Rose Band original member John Jorgenson guested on this track. The album also features another #1 track, "Jordan" which pairs Darin & Brooke with such luminaries as Ricky Skaggs, Mo Pitney and Mark Fain. Country Music Hall of famer and close friend and former collaborator Vince Gill returned on this album to sing on the song "A Million Miles" that he wrote about his friend and mentor Byron Berline. A career highlight from their previous album was “He’s Getting Me Ready,” a gospel rouser featuring Country Music Hall of Fame members The Oak Ridge Boys. It spent an incredible, record setting 5 month atop the Bluegrass/Gospel Chart.

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 is a four-time consecutive winner and reigning Female Vocalist of the Year for the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA). She was nominated for a fifth time in 2021 while Darin is a former IBMA Mentor of the Year and a truly gifted singer and multi-instrumentalist. Darin and Brooke have also 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. On April 18, 2023, they were named “Bluegrass Artists of the Year” at the Absolutely Gospel Music Awards.

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, The Huckabee Show, and The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour; Great American Gospel, The Bluegrass Road, and Blue Highways TV. They have graced the Grand Ole Opry stage more than 55 times.

Their long touring history includes tours of Ireland, Prague, Canada and all of the US, headlining festivals along with sold-out theater shows and has seen them enjoy co-bills with Bluegrass Hall of Famer John Cowan, John Jorgenson as well as Country Music Hall of Famer's Jimmy Fortune and The Oak Ridge Boys.

In following the path of their dreams, Brooke once noted, “We want our music to lift people up.” “It was an early goal of ours to put a positive message out there,” adds Darin, “and we decided a long, long time ago that we were going to be us, no matter what.”
