ABOUT

Darrell is a 10 time award nominee and an international award winning singer songwriter from East Tennessee.  His dynamic style engages audiences where ever he plays. He is a member of the International Singer Songwriters' Association and the Tennessee Songwriters' Association. After meandering through a couple of states and several cities, he headed to Nashville.  He found himself as one of the up and coming writers with numerous appearances at the Bluebird Cafe.  Nashville never found a niche for Darrell's eclectic style.  However, in 2023 he was awarded Musician of The Year by Fairplay Country Music Awards and in July of the same year, Darrell had his first #1 co-write for the song Hope Wins (Independent Music Chart) .

Darrell's early musical influences were Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steve Earle and all of the Out Law Country folks, Waylon, Willie, etc.  Today he is living the dream (the life of a rock star), playing venues throughout the south, parts of the north and Europe!! His music is mixed with sounds of Folk, Americana and Country Rock(ish). He currently lives in Spring City, TN writing songs, playing music and loving life on the lake with his amazing wife!!!
