L to R Due West’s Tim Gates, WYCD Music Director Jack Shell, Joe Carroll of Black River Entertainment, Brad Hull of Due West, WYCD Operations Manager/Program Director Tim Roberts, Due West’s Matt Lopez.
Today’s New Music Spotlight comes from a fantastic new Nashville trio called Due West. Matt Lopez and Brad Hull met Tim Gates at a party. The three started harmonizing and the other attendees—Music Row stars, newcomers, and friends—kept asking how long they’d been a group. It’s been happening ever since as they’ve toured the country, visiting radio stations and playing for appreciative audiences along the way.
“We’ve been told that when we sing harmony, it’s something special,”
says Brad, “and we’ve learned to believe it.”
“It just seems like anytime we play live,” adds Tim, “we usually end up
with some long-term fans.”
Their debut song is certainly a song any Detroiter can relate to. It’s called “Things You Can’t Do In A Car”. Listen to it and tell us what you think in our poll below, and join Jack Shell again for another New Music Spotlight – weekdays between 1:30 and 1:45 on 99.5 WYCD!
