Dirt Road Sweetheart is a father-daughter duo that has been performing publicly since 2006. We recorded this, our first CD, live at Cabin Studios in Leesburg, VA, playing and singing together live without the use of over dubbing, tracking, pitch correction, or additional musicians. This is the honest sound of two voices and two instruments. We hope you enjoy it!

Thank you...to Jeanna Struthers, Danny Knicely, and All Our Friends from The Old Fiddler’s Convention in Galax, VA.
