The Darrin Morris Band includes Darrin Morris on lead vocals; Jeremy Moore on drums and backing vocals; Blake Watson on bass guitar; Michael Olson on lead guitar, and Josh Smithers on rhythm guitar. The band has gained a solid reputation as a premier live contemporary country act and they continue to build momentum, performing at clubs, casinos, fairs, and such high profile events as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Longview Cattle Baron’s Ball where they will open for Mark Chesnutt on May 20th.
“Releasing this song is a big step for us!” exclaims lead singer Darrin Morris. “We are very excited about the early feedback that we’re hearing from radio and the fans, and about the possibilities that lay ahead.”
The single is the culmination of years of honing his musical craft since Morris first began singing as a teenager in the church where his father pastored. It was his love of Gospel combined with the influences of Country artists such as George Strait, Garth Brooks and Keith Whitley that helped to shape the soulful vocal style that has become his trademark.
The Darrin Morris Band began performing together in October 2012, with just a few friends getting together to play at a local restaurant near Gilmer, Texas where the group is based. They were a hit with the owners and the customers and they were asked to come back and play on a monthly basis. Before they knew it, one show led to another, and over the next four years they played across their home state of Texas, as well as Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska and in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 2014, the group began gaining noteworthy attention when they were named “Country Band of the Year” and took “Song of the Year” awards with their original composition, “Country To The Bone” at the East Texas Music Awards. 2015 was another big year at the same awards with “Male Vocalist of the Year,” “Vocal Group of the Year” and “Song of the Year” with “Turn Back Time.” They parlayed that success into the release of their debut album, Country To The Bone, in November 2015, and returned in 2016 to sweep the East Texas Music Awards with seven more awards. In addition they garnered five noms at the 2017 Nashville Universe Awards and won “Music Video of the Year” for “Dancing In The Rain.”
Texas/Red Dirt radio promotion services for “Where Will I Be” are being handled by Dillon Steen of Steen Promotions.
