Darrell Brothers to host 2015 IBMA Songwriters Showcase

Each year the International Bluegrass Music Association presents a Songwriter Showcase during their World Of Bluegrass Convention. A number of songwriters are chosen each year by a selection committee to perform their songs before the assembled audience of artists, producers, and other writers.

The Darrell Brothers, a comedy duo of singers and songwriters, will serve as hosts, and will surely keep the mood light for the showcase to be held on Wednesday, September 30 at 9:40 a.m. in the Raleigh Convention Center. Bluegrass fans will remember the Brothers for their hilarious singles, Mountain Twerker and Healthcare Dot Gov.

Songs to be performed include:

Grandpa’s Overalls – Lisa Bushman, Dale Ann Bradley & Joe Newberry
Anyway – Louisa Branscomb
The Mountain Wayfarers – Andrew Preston
Rules of My Heart – Annalisa Tornfelt
Ain’t No Good Goodbye – Teresa Neal
Deer in the Headlights Look – Buddy Guido
So Long, Lindytown – David Morris & Chris Dockins
Someday – Melody Williamson
Southern Train – Gary Alan Ferguson
How Alone – Rob Russell

Registration for Wednesday is required to attend the showcase.

The Darrell Brothers at IBMA

You never know where these two crazy guys will turn up next.

Daniel Mullins caught up with The Darrell Brothers during IBMA’s Wide Open Bluegrass, and collected some of their wit and wisdom for the ages. The boys gave a quick update on their twerking granny, along with a dramatic recitation of Marbletown.

Healthcare Dot Gov video

No one is safe! The Darrell Brothers have learned the basics of videography, and have followed up their Mountain Twerker video with a new one for their latest single, Healthcare Dot Gov.

The song traces the issues one good ol’ boy encounters trying to sign up for insurance online.

The single is available for download purchase online.

Waitin’ on Healthcare Dot Gov

The Darrell Brothers are back. Following up on their irreverent single, Mountain Twerker, the boys have a new song to share, with a message that will resonate with a lot of their fans.

Healthcare Dot Gov tells of a good ol’ boy’s troubles logging on to the new Affordable Care Act web site. Performed as an old time mandolin/guitar duet with vocals, the guys say that this is a true life story.

“Daryl just got so tired of waiting on the website and having his applications being rejected that he wrote this true story song. A video is currently in production and will be released in the coming weeks!”

Here’s a little taste…

For radio programmers who are so inclined, Healthcare Dot Gov can be downloaded now at Airplay Direct.

The single can be purchased for download from iTunes and CD Baby.

Regarding the the video for Mountain Twerker, the Brothers tell us it has received over 400,000 views on YouTube. It appears that they struck a nerve. Check it out.
