While friendship may be the glue that holds Due West together, it is their music that moves them forward. All three gentlemen are accomplished songsmiths, full-time staff writers who have earned cuts by Lady Antebellum, Bucky Covington, and the Gaither Brothers. With a wealth of songs to choose from their own catalogs, let alone the gems to be found from outside writers, Due West’s debut album is replete with songs written from the heart that connect with listeners in a truly meaningful way.
With an independent spirit as great as the American frontier, Due West is staking their claim to Nashville fame. Three brothers in spirit, if not by blood, Tim Gates, Brad Hull and Matt Lopez comprise the energetic young band based on tight three-part harmony, smart, sincere songwriting and perhaps most of all, the kind of friendship legends are made of.
Real issues jump to life in the band’s lead single, “I Get That All The Time,” a celebration of the highs to be had from everyday family life. “Whether we’re a parent, a child, or an adult looking back on our lives growing up, there’s just something to be said about walking in the front door of your home and feeling the weight of the day whisked away by the chaotic familiarity and peacefulness of family,” Matt says.
Oh, yeah, they sound great!! This will be a legendary Swallow show!!
