About The Song
NASHVILLE, TN. (Oct. 4, 2024) – Award-winning and chart-topping duo Darin & Brooke Aldridge are excited to unveil the single and official music video for, “A Million Memories (A Song for Byron)” written by and featuring Vince Gill. The video, shot on location at The World Famous Station Inn and debuted on Bluegrass Situation, is a heartfelt tribute to the late Byron Berline, a beloved musician, mentor, and friend of Gill. Through their dynamic vocals, musicianship, and passionate storytelling, Darin & Brooke honor Berline’s legacy, capturing the essence of the profound influence Byron had on Vince and the music industry. The track was initially released on Darin & Brooke’s latest album, Talk of the Town (Billy Blue Records), which has soared to the top of multiple bluegrass charts, including Billboard, solidifying the duo’s place as a leading force in the genre.
The new video showcases the duo’s ability to evoke deep emotions through both their music and visuals. As No Depression perfectly noted in a recent album review, “Darin and Brooke Aldridge know just how to deliver a song to capture a full range of emotions.” The “A Million Memories (A Song for Byron)” video exemplifies this, pairing soul-stirring lyrics with imagery that stirs nostalgia as it reflects on cherished memories from the past.
Vince Gill expressed his gratitude for Darin & Brooke’s rendition of "A Million Memories (A Song for Byron)," saying, "I'm grateful to Darin and Brooke for recording this song I wrote about the world-class fiddle player and my lifelong friend, Byron Berline. It's a song I wrote in tribute to our friendship back when I was first getting started playing as a teenage musician. Darin and Brooke have become great friends of mine, and I'm honored that they recorded this song in tribute to Byron."
Darin & Brooke celebrate the release of the music video by stating, “It is one of our greatest joys to invest time in and encourage those who come behind us. Mentoring is one way to pay forward the gifts given to us by our own heroes and mentors and bring out the best in younger people in the same ways someone did for us. “A Million Memories (A Song for Byron),” dedicated to one of Vince Gill's closest mentors and dearest friends, Byron Berline, is extra-special to us, both for the meaning behind the song and for honor of singing it with our special mentor and friend, Vince Hill. We will always treasure this opportunity to make “A Million Memories (A Song for Byron).”
