Hitmaker Dean Dillon‘s Unwound Records has signed country trio Due West.

Made up of Tim Gates, Matt Lopez and Brad Hull, the group formed at a Nashville house party in 2004. Since then, they have released singles including “Things You Can’t Do In A Car” and an EP Move Like That, which reached No. 8 on the iTunes Country Albums chart, No. 13 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and landed on the Billboard Top 40 Country Albums chart.

Produced by and co-written with Dillion, Due West’s new album Unbroken is set for release Friday, Feb. 23.

“Dean Dillon is a legend and a star, but he’s also a friend and a brother to us,” says Hull. “It’s a privilege to get to make music with someone who checks all of those boxes. Working with Dean is like going to school with a quiet genius as your teacher. We couldn’t feel more excited and humbled to sign with his new label Unwound Records!”

“Bringing Due West into the Unwound Records family is an exciting move. Their talent speaks volumes, and I’m eager to see them shine in the world of country music,” shares Dillon.
