Dreamin' with Curtis and Luckey
Upon meeting for the first time around 2006/2007, songwriters Curtis and Luckey found a bond in music that would forever change their lives. The duo began performing their music all over Nashville and received great response from the crowds. With one thing leading to another, the duo now is performing 200+ gigs a year and has a new single out titled "I Have a Dream." The single is from their debut album "The Hard Way."
When talking about their new single that has specifically been released in Texas, Brian Curtis talked about why Curtis and Luckey love Texas so much. "The reason we love Texas is that Texas is big supporters of live music and original songs. Ya know, it's really a different flavor than we are used to and a lot of spots in the country and it's so refreshing to play to a crowd that really enjoys that."
This year Curtis and Luckey took to the Budlight stage at the CMA Music Fest, but that's just a step in the right direction for the duo. They said they have their eyes on Riverfront stage next year and LP Field the year after that. Luckey said he was excited for two reasons about being at the CMA Music Fest. "Well, one it's CMA Music Fest and I'm back home. I get to play for, ya know, the two shows we've already done the places have been packed out the door. Number two, getting to meet all the fans."
Something that definitely struck a chord with me about the duo is how big their hearts are. Every city they visit, the guys take time out to perform for local children. Curtis said, "Who better to perform for than a room full of kids. They don't judge you. They just love the music. For us, it's a relief from the rest of the world. Alot of the kids were removed from homes by the state and music is therapeutic, from writing to playing. So playing for these kids is a win win situation. Everyone walks away feeling good." Luckey said that playing this past week at Tennessee Baptist Children's Home really hit home with him this past week. He was adopted out of the Tennessee Baptist Children's Home, so he said it was good to come back and give back. Now they are starting to get donations from local music stores and music teachers for gently used instruments and lessons. This project keeps getting bigger and better.
