THIS WEEK'S FEATURED ARTIST • DARRIN MORRIS The DARRIN MORRIS BAND began performing together in October 2012, with just a few friends getting together to play at a local restaurant near Gilmer, Texas. They quickly became a fan favorite and realized they were on to something. They have since quit their day jobs and hit the road touring and playing shows all across Texas, as well as Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Nashville. Darrin first began singing as a teenager in the church where his father pastored. It was his love of Gospel combined with the influences of George Strait, Garth Brooks and Keith Whitley that helped shape his soulful sound. With his last single Dancing in the Rain hitting the Top of the Texas charts, he's back again with an edgier Texas two step. This is his newest release • COUNTRY TO THE BONE
