Their solo tours have also been wildly successful, drawing fans from all over the UK and the rest of the world with a deeply resonant and contemporary spin on the country genre. Named after the debut album of influential Scottish band Deacon Blue, Bain and McArthur-Bain met in 2007 while working on separate music projects in Glasgow. Realising their shared musical tastes, they began working on the singles that would eventually make up their first album, Hope In Troubled Times, which skyrocketed them to national stardom. By the release of their second album, Writing On The Wall, they were well established in the UK country scene, with the rest of the world swiftly taking notice. This electrifying duo fuses a passion for the roots of country music with an eclectic perspective that takes influence from across the entire musical spectrum. Their dynamic live performances and sensational releases have continuously elevated their career to new heights, firmly establishing their place at the forefront of the UK’s next generation of country and folk artists.
