Hello World!<\/span><\/p>\n

Emily and Ben Roberts make up the duo that is Carolina Story. \u00a0This Nashville couple was excited to return to Boston last weekend. They performed in front of a sold out crowd opening for Bob Schneider at City Winery. These parents of two young children are just shy of their 10th wedding anniversary. \u00a0Recently they had considered options other than music but decided to give the business another shot. Well worth it! Last summer Rolling Stone picked their song, \u201cWe Were Young Once Too\u201d, \u00a0as one of the 10 Best Country, Americana Songs of the Week (July 13, 2018).<\/p>\n

After their performance the duo told me what they are listening to. Of course Carolina Story is recommended! Ben looked up artists on his phone, and even double checked my list. I didn\u2019t do too poorly except with my battle with spell check. Anyone else have problems with that? Spell check thinks it knows what I am thinking. Ben started off by naming Ruston Kelly\u2019s album Dying Star<\/em> and Ever Since I Lost My Mind<\/em> by SUSTO. \u00a0Also on his list are Tim McGraw, and Brooks and Dunn. Ben says to listen to at least one John Prine song a day. He gave a shout out to Cody Johnson and Aaron Lee Tasjan too. \u00a0Emily and Ben both mentioned listening to Brandi Carlile and Erin Rae. \u00a0Emily also added Graham Parsons and Maggie Rogers.<\/p>\n

Mr. and Mrs. Roberts gave me a lot to work with. I know if we had more time, the list would be even longer! I hope Carolina Story inspired you to look up some of their favorite artists. There is always room for more music to love! \u00a0Thank you Emily and Ben! It was nice to meet you! \u00a0For more info about their band go to –\u00a0CarolinaStory.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am digging their songs – \u00a0Set In Stone<\/a>\u00a0and Lay Your Head Down<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

And<\/p>\n

Ruston Kelly’s \u00a0 Jericho<\/a><\/p>\n

Maggie Rogers’\u00a0Light On<\/a><\/p>\n

Brandi Carlile’s \u00a0Party of One<\/a><\/p>\n

I love Tim McGraw’s video Humble and Kind<\/a>\u00a0. \u00a0It has been one of my favorites ever since its release a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Thanks for checking in!<\/p>\n

What are you listening to?<\/p>\n
