Biography

Brooke, the reigning IBMA Vocalist of the Year, takes the lead with the harmonies of Darin and Fortune adding depth and texture to the music, giving “Everytime You Leave” a timeless feel.

Darin & Brooke Aldridge say, “He doesn’t realize it yet...but we have Kyle Cantrell to thank for helping us re-discover this awesome tune ‘Everytime You Leave’ captures the musical creativity and writing styles that we’ve always been inspired by from the Louvin Brothers. We were very excited to have our dear friend Jimmy Fortune add his vocal touch with ours. When the three of us blend our voices together it brings a smile to our face and makes an already amazing tune that much more powerful.”

The song is performed by an elite line-up of players including Darin Aldridge (winner of the 2017 IBMA Momentum Mentor of the Year) on mandolin and guitar, the unique guitar work of Zeb Snyder (Snyder Family Band), accomplished bassist Mark Fain (Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder/Chris Hillman), and the skillful fiddle and vocal harmony of band member Carley Arrowood, winner of the 2017 IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year. The song also welcomes the sophisticated style of newest band member Matt Menefee (Cadillac Sky/ChessBoxer) who brings a New Grass touch to the banjo work.
