Those Darlins: Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Those Darlins are touring, cowpunk-pop stars, rising up in the music scene with fun, high energy shows. Off the road, at home in the Nashville suburb and college town of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where they live life on the edge with a “devil may care” attitude, these talented musicians continue to build their legend. With Jessie Darlin on guitar, Nikki Darlin playing baritone ukulele, and Kelley Darlin as the group’s bassist, this sexy, hip and cool musical trio becomes Those Darlins; who may just be country music’s answer to Patsy Cline meeting Fionna Apple in the East Village. The country-punk power band took Bonooroo by storm in June 2009, using this celebrated moment to release their self-titled debut album Those Darlins.
Go to iTunes to download their debut album Those Darlins, and check out Those Darlins for their tour schedule, blog and more!
