Artist: Darin & Brooke Aldridge
Hometown: Shelby, North Carolina
Song: “No End in Sight” (from No Contact Concert Series)
In Their Words: “’No End in Sight’ is an upbeat song about love and a relationship that seems to have no ending point. We would like to think that this song reflects our own love and career, where we’re reaching goals with an unlimited future ahead. Having Samantha and Zeb Snyder and Billy Gee playing with us was an added bonus that allowed this song to really come to life, and the meaning of it to be felt even more.” — Darin & Brooke Aldridge
“We were so happy to have Darin, Brooke, and the band involved in the series. Our goal has always been to showcase and support regional artists throughout this uneasy period, and this show was a great one for that and many other reasons. One thing that has always impressed me about Darin and Brooke’s music is its ability to fuse impressive musical technicality with down-to-earth, relatable songwriting. On the production end, approaching it with that perspective in mind allowed us to present a show that straddled some of our favorite musical programs from the past, resulting in something very cool that we all felt very proud of, sort of like The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour meets MTV Unplugged.” — John Crawford, production manager of Codex Sound and co-founder of No Contact Concert Series.
Editor’s Note: No Contact Concert Series is a weekly live broadcast featuring professional-grade full band shows streamed from Codex Sound’s 14,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Hickory, North Carolina. As a full-time production company whose heaviest work season was decimated by the pandemic, the crew at Codex Sound saw an opportunity to repurpose their storage warehouse to create a full-scale virtual concert experience and grant artists the chance to perform in a safe and sanitary environment with the highest quality audio and video possible.
