This group is going strong: they just released a new single, “Life To My Days.” The
track is a bit more modern than usual for DLQ, but it’s already a fan
favorite at shows. The release is from their upcoming (August 25)
album, LIFE IS A STORY (Mountain Home Music Company), which can be pre-ordered HERE.
