As Route 33 gears up for their performance at the Groundwater Country Music Festival, duo members Jock Barnes and Trent McArdle are excited to share their new album, Chapters. The pair first connected over their mutual love for sports, leading to a spontaneous jam session that unveiled their musical chemistry. Since releasing their debut single in 2016 and achieving a #1 spot on the ARIA Charts with their 2019 album Coro Drive, they have made significant strides in the country music scene.
Barnes discussed the journey leading to Chapters, highlighting how their personal lives have evolved since their last release. “We’ve been writing, recording, and performing as much as we could over the past five years,” he said. “The album’s called Chapters. I’ve gotten married and had a baby, and Trent has gotten engaged. There are huge life milestones for both of us that this album captures.”
The album’s cover art reflects this sentiment, featuring Barnes’ daughter wearing sunglasses and sporting an adorable, milk-drunk smile, symbolizing the joy and growth captured in their music.
Chapters embodies Route 33’s deep appreciation and passion for their craft, and as they look to the future, the duo is committed to their artistic journey. With their trajectory pointing upward, fans can expect to hear more from Route 33 as they continue to evolve as musicians and storytellers.
