Nashville‘s Clare Bowen and Brandon Robert Young have joined forces to become a new country duo. They will be releasing two new songs–“Helpless” and “Darling Oh Darling”–on Oct. 8, available on all digital platforms.
Before landing the role of Scarlett O’Connor on the ABC/CMT/Hulu TV series Nashville, and launching her career as a singer-songwriter, Bowen was growing up in rural Australia. Throughout her career, she has performed duets with artists like Zac Brown Band and Vince Gill, and has recorded with Grammy-winning producers like T-Bone Burnett and Buddy Miller.
Young was drawn to music from an early age, moving to Nashville in 2000 with a two-hundred dollar guitar he didn’t know how to play. He sat in his tiny Nashville apartment and taught himself how to play, stumbling toward his first songs and honing his craft. Since then, Young has spent over a decade collaborating with artists such as John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris, John Carter Cash, and more. His music has also been featured in shows such as Nashville, Shameless, and A Million Little Things, among others.
The two have been busy in recent years touring, writing, and performing. In 2018 they nabbed a spot on Sugarland’s “Still The Same Tour,” and Bowen set out on a headlining tour in support of the international release of her eponymous album in summer 2019. In 2020, she sang virtually in Australia’s ARIA Awards, as well as wrote and sang with Young on a song for the Johnny Cash collaborative album, Forever Words.
The newly-formed pair will be playing a series of dates at City Winery locations around the country through November and December, including a Nashville show on Dec. 15. For a full list of dates and ticketing information, click here.
