Carolina Story Includes Several Nashville Dates on Upcoming Tour

Husband and wife duo Carolina Story (Ben & Emily Roberts) will soon hit the road in support of their upcoming album Lay Your Head Down, due out July 13 via Black River Americana.

The duo’s album features new songs and newly-recorded versions of some older material and offers up a snapshot of their last 10 years of their lives as a couple. The duo wrote all of the material on the new album, which was mostly recorded at Nashville’s Sound Stage Studios and produced by Nick Autry.

Carolina Story’s tour will launch July 19, and will celebrate during the album’s release week with a Nashville show at The Black River Stage at The Well Coffeehouse on July 12, and a return performance to the Grand Ole Opry stage on July 14.
