The two of you could not only be the “new” Louvin Bros. and Monroe Bros. wrapped in one, but you could eclipse every band out there right now with the combination of the awesome abilities that you both have.

Their vocals are stellar and rival bands like Dailey and
Vincent and Doyle Lawson. Actually, the majority of the band are alumni of
Doyle's school of bluegrass. The greatest compliment for a teacher is for his
students to surpass him. This may be the case with The Beachley And Scott
Band. (Andy Alexander, Pickin in the Pasture Festival, Lodi NY) April 2010

Darren Beachley & Barry Scott may be two of Bluegrass Music most recognizable voices. Collectively they spent 14 years under the tutledge of one of Bluegrass music’s greatest bands Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver (1996-2009). Darren and Barry were part of DL&Q during its record setting run of seven-consecutive IBMA Vocal Group of the year awards. After leaving DL&Q both continued to have major success. Barry fronting his band Second Wind would receive a Grammy Nomination in 2009 for his gospel release “In Gods Time”. Darren fronting his band Legends of the Potomac would have his release “Takeoff” be one of the top Bluegrass CD’s of 2010. In November of 2010 the two had always talked of singing together and the time seemed right as both bands were undergoing major personnel shifts and thus a Bluegrass mega-merger was formed.The band consist of veterans Shayne Bartley on banjo (Charlie Sizmore, Karl Shifflet, Lost and Found) Tim Laughlin on Mandolin (Dale Ann Bradley,Jim & Jesse) and yet another former Quicksilver alum Jason Leek on chop guitar and bass. The Beachley & Scott Band bring forth all the elements of incredible vocal harmonies and rock solid playing with original material from the pen of Barry Scott and many of today’s great writers.
