About Due West
The tight harmonies of Matt Lopez, Brad Hull and Tim Gates make up Due West, who have recently been on the road promoting their debut single “I Get That All The Time” from their forthcoming album and has already garnered early radio attention. The single was added to the WKDF-Nashville "Wall of Fame" after being chosen as a fan favorite for five consecutive nights.
While friendship may be the glue that holds Due West together, it is their music that moves them forward. All three gentlemen are accomplished songsmiths, full-time staff writers who have earned cuts by Lady Antebellum, Bucky Covington, and the Gaither Brothers. With a wealth of songs to choose from their own catalogs, let alone the gems to be found from outside writers, Due West’s debut album is replete with songs written from the heart that connect with listeners in a truly meaningful way.
In April of this year, Due West proudly announced the formation of their label Bigger Than Me Records. Principals include Due West band members Matt Lopez, Brad Hull and Tim Gates, along with producer Jason Deere and entrepreneur Darren Dixon.
