Tonight we played an acoustic show at the Robeson County Fair in Lumberton, North Carolina - put on by WKML 95.7 fm! Huge shout-out to DeanO, Larry & Don for spinning our record SO MUCH! The place went nuts when we started into the single. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
After we played for about an hour or so, we had the opportunity to hang out and meet a lot of the fair goers; great folks! We shook many hands and took lots of pictures. (y'all better post and tag!)
By the time we packed up and were pulling out of the fair to head back to the hotel, we realized that the GAC Top 20 Countdown hadn't aired our interview yet...we hadn't missed it!! "Where can we find a TV???" Just then we spotted a Ruby Tuesday! One of us jumped out and ran inside to ask the bartender if they had GAC, and if so, if we could watch our interview.
They said yes! We ran inside just in the nick of time to catch it. What a night to remember! All three of our phones were BLOWIN' UP! Texts, voicemails, emails, and tweets! The Due West family was all enjoying a surreal moment TOGETHER in real-time! Awesome. Simply awesome.
Thanks to all you dedicated voters! Let's keep voting and spreading the word; who knows, maybe we all could take this indie country trio called Due West all the way to the #1 spot!

Due West,
I was at the Robeson County Fair for the show you did Oct. 2nd. Awesome time! That concert has been my opening topic of discussion all week. Also, the video on GAC is great. I've been voting for you guys each week, and look forward to seeing that vid in the #1 spot.
Just saw you guys last night at the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, UT! Thanks for an inspirational night of music! Best wishes to you guys on your music journey!
Hey y'all
Last Friday we drove to the Robeson County Fair just to see Due West, and let me tell you we were NOT disappointed! It was a great time!!
I always love seeing songwriters do their own music, especially in a laid-back acoustic format. But I had no idea you three would be so dead-on and tight with your harmonies. It was a flawless show!
My wife isn't that big of a country music fan, so I wasn't sure how she'd like the concert. But she loved every song! And my daughters are now the two biggest Due West fans in North Carolina!!! Thanks for taking time to talk to them and take a picture afterwards.
So, we're ready for you to come our way again!
