THE DRYES

Age: Katelyn – 33, Derek – 36 Hometown: Katelyn – Winston-Salem, NC; Derek – Thomasville, NCResident: Nashville, TNKatelyn and Derek met each other 15 years ago when Derek sent Katelyn a pickup line over social media. It wasn’t until about three months into dating that their musical connection began, when they were asked to play together at a family member’s funeral. They have now been pursuing music together for 15 years and have been married for 10. After moving to Nashville, they really found their stride and have consistently put out their own music while performing regularly. They have been profiled in prestigious publications such as People, CMT and Rolling Stone. They even made it onto Rolling Stone’s list of the “top 10 country songs you can’t miss out on” with their single “Amen,” and two of their music videos held steady at No. 1 on CMT's countdown.
