This Life We’re Livin’ is a warm, cohesive collection that, as Brooke observes, “takes you a little further into the lives and story of Darin and Brooke. It paints the picture of where we started, dreams we had, and a life and musical journey that we feel blessed to share together everyday.” It is that inviting, unaffected journey that draws listeners to the couple. It is the simple,
positive message reflected in the music and lives of Darin and Brooke Aldridge that keeps them there.
Perhaps the key to their success lies in their mutual respect and admiration. The couple’s willingness to work hard, embrace opportunities and meet challenges head-on is paying off. Darin and Brooke are inspiring in their music, artistry, and commitment to continued evolution and growth. In following the path of their dreams, Brooke once noted, “We want our music to lift people up.” “It was an early goal of ours to put a positive message out there,” adds Darin, “and we decided a long, long time ago that we were going to be us, no matter what.”
