After six years of touring and recording as the acclaimed Americana trio ‘The Dales Band,’ Jacqueline Tozzi and Preston Pope stepped into a bold new chapter with the formation of ‘Darling’ in early 2025.
A genre-blending duo born from the heart of harmony and the soul of reinvention, Jacqueline and Preston’s vocals and songwriting helped shape a beloved sound rooted in soul, rock, and country.
‘Darling’ is where the grit of classic rock meets the emotional depth of soul, threaded with an edge that’s both modern and timeless. Tozzi’s signature powerhouse vocals—equal parts smoky vulnerability and fierce conviction—now shine with even greater clarity, while Pope’s masterful guitar work and melodic instincts drive the duo’s sound into bold new territory. The two artists
share a long-standing musical rapport that’s palpable in every note, forged through years of harmonizing and co-creating.
Where ‘The Dales’ channeled a spirit of nostalgic warmth, ‘Darling’ pushes forward with cinematic energy, emotional resonance, and hooks that linger. Their songs tell stories of reinvention, risk, and raw connection, set against soundscapes that range from intimate to anthemic. Currently at work on their debut release, ‘Darling’ is a band built on evolution—with deep roots and fresh wings.

About The Younger Brothers
Website | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
The Younger Brothers are an indie/folk duo turned band from Philadelphia who throw it back with rugged, intimate songs guided by 60s pop intuition and psychedelia. Formed during the 2020 quarantine, and inspired by the Beatles, Jim Croce, and Dr. Dog, the Younger Brothers released their self-titled debut album in 2021 (produced by Dangerbird artist Jacob Snider), followed shortly thereafter by their EP Hanging on July, which music blogger Adventures in Americana dubbed “a harmony-drenched EP of pure bliss.” The Younger Brothers have been featured on Boston’s WMBR and Middlebury’s WRMC, have produced energetic and laugh out loud videos for singles, “Caroline” and “Sweet Thing” (Alt Milk Productions), and performed live for audiences at Philadelphia venues, including the Milkboy, the Fire, and Khyber Pass.
