Day 1 of this week's RADIO VISITS...

The first stop of the day was just a short jaunt east to Hartsville, Tennesse, where we had the pleasure of joining Gary Frank on the air at WTNK 93.5FM. Gary and his wife have been running this station for 6 years. Hartsville is a perfectly quaint little town, and we can't wait to go back and visit Gary often. Thanks, Gary!





Stop two: WLBQ 1570AM. Charlie Black has owned the station for over 20 years, and he and DJ Howard Phelps welcomed us into the station, and gave us a great interview. We played a song live, and then they spun our single. Thank you Morgantown, Kentucky for another great visit!





The last stop today was in Owensboro, Kentucky. Dave Spencer was a blast to hang out with at WBKR 92.5FM. Dave has been at the station for over 9 years, and has some great stories that he shared with us. We played a couple songs on the air, he interviewed us, and then he spun our single. Thanks, Dave!

Due West is getting to know RADIO

If these are the kind of people that we're going to get to meet and make relationships with on this journey, then life is good!

While in Las Vegas this past week, we had the wonderful opportunity to visit KWNR New Country 95.5. We met Cary Rolfe and his staff, who very warmly welcomed us into their station.

After a short acoustic performance in the conference room, we got to hang out a bit and get to know them all. We're figuring out that people who work at radio stations all seem to be very cool folks. They even had us sign a handful of our promo 8 x 10 posters to hang up in their offices. They really made us feel like we were already stars!

After the hang at the station, we took Cary and his family out to dinner at T-Bones Steakhouse. WOW, that was some amazing food! His wife and their two sons are the coolest people ever.

What better way to end the night, than with an impromptu acoustic performance of 'Tell Her' in the parking lot. Thanks for the great hang, Cary.

Kevin Mason - Video Blog

Kevin Mason is one of our Nine North guys who handles all of the "top-secret" aspects of Nine North records. Here is a video blog he did after stopping by and visiting us in the studio a while back.

Thanks Kevin.

Episode 128: Due West

DW in the Valley Of The Sun

We recently traveled through Arizona where we were so honored to visit one of Phoenix's great country stations KMLE Country 108! Gwen Foster and her staff put on a little unplugged acoustic concert for a few of their lucky listeners, and Due West was the entertainment. We had a BLAST! Thanks for grabbin' a hump and hangin' on! :)

Due West visits KSOP in Salt Lake City

Before we left Salt Lake to head south to Tuacahn, we stopped by to visit the good folks at KSOP. Deb Turpin greeted us in the lobby, and lead us right back into the studio, where we met the on-air personalities, Bill & Dick. They were so friendly to put us right on the air! We talked for a bit, played a song, and then they spun our single "I Get That All The Time". Thanks y'all!

Due West visits TWO Utah radio stations!

Today we visited our very good friends Keith and Lindsay at 101.5 The Eagle in Salt Lake City. They are always so good to us, and have been for quite some time now. We can't wait to make them proud and have a big ol' hit! Thanks guys for being the first station in Utah to spin our new single "I Get That All The Time". What a RUSH!





After we left The Eagle, we traveled down to Tim's home town of Richfield, where we visited Victor Adams at KCYQ 97.7. This guy is a real hoot! Thanks for spinnin' the single Victor! It's nice to get a little hometown LOVE.










While we were in Richfield, we ran into a local legendary DJ, Joe Gentry. This guy has been spinning records in that town since the 70's. He started as the station janitor, and still comes in and cleans the place. Every week he hosts his own show, where he plays nothing but old vinyl. Very cool cat!

TA DA!!!!

Coming soon.....a new website, myspace, and youtube site!!! Yay!

Thanks to the kind folks at Music City Networks in Nashville.

Lang, you and your team members ROCK the funky joint!

Tennessee day-run radio tour a success!

The first Tennessee station to play the new single "I Get That All The Time" was WDKN in Dickson, Tennessee. Chuck Dauphin had such a great vibe at his station; the room was filled with old classic records and pictures of a lot of our heroes. He even had a dancing Hank Jr. doll! Check out our qik videos to see it.

It was an overwhelming feeling to actually be hearing OUR SONG playing over the airwaves of a West Tennessee town..... livin' the dream boys, livin' the DREAM!

RADIO TOUR!

We officially head out tomorrow to visit radio stations around Tennessee. We're so excited! Wish us luck... The journey begins.

Due West plays their first CRS show!

We played our first CRS showcase last night here in Nashville at a club called Rocketown. It went GREAT! ...who says those radio people are a 'hard audience'? ..nah! :)

After our set, we walked off the stage, only to be greeted by none other than the beautiful and legendary Pam Tillis! WOW. She looked right at all three of us and said, "you guys' harmonies are BITCHIN!" ...we don't know if it gets any cooler than that. What an honor!

Thank you Country Radio Seminar 2009! Let's do this!

Due West unveils their DEBUT SINGLE!

Well kids, the moment has finally arrived... Today we officially and proudly announce the song by which the world will meet Due West!

After MUCH careful and prayerful thought and consideration, the DW team has passionately concurred that the debut single will be "I Get That All The Time".

This is a song that means so much to all of us on so many levels, and really makes a statement about who we are as a group and also individually.

Whether we're a parent, a child, or an adult looking back on our lives growing up, there's just something to be said about walking in the front door of your HOME and feeling the weight of the day whisked away by the chaotic familiarity and peacefulness of family.
