The Darlings Family Trust are a local folk group who also dash in and out of other genres such as blues, country and indie. With acoustic finger style guitar songs and warm, lush electric guitar, their music tells sprawling stories with unison harmonies.

They have released four singles and a debut album ‘Truth Be Told’’ in 2025 with airplay across multiple radio stations.
