Darin and Brooke Aldridge will play a free concert on Saturday, on October 8, 2016 at 4:00 pm in the Kings Mountain National Military Park amphitheater.
Cherryville duo Darin & Brooke Aldridge reprised the iconic Johnny Cash / Rosanne Cash hit "Tennessee Flat Top Box" on their critically acclaimed "Snapshots" album. Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine proclaimed it the #1 Bluegrass Song in the nation for December 2015.
The duo has placed at the top of the charts on Americana/Roots, SiriusXM, Bluegrass and Gospel charts and have received multiple nominations from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPGBMA) and Inspirational Country Music (ICM).
Darin and Brooke were among the artists honored to appear at the grand opening of the Earl Scruggs Center in Shelby, NC. The cultural center is dedicated to the legend that inspired generations of musicians and artists.
