Becky told Prescription Bluegrass that she was extremely excited to be back in a performing band….

“I’m thrilled to have the chance to pick and sing with Darin and Brooke,” said Buller. “They have a great sound and their group is fantastic. Plus they’re just downright nice folks AND they travel in a Sun Drop sponsored sprinter. (My husband and I are Sun Drop fanatics from way back.) I know this is going to be a lot of fun!”  Sun Drop has been a major sponsor for Darin and Brooke since August of 2011 (see related story)
