Carolina Story have released their first album on a label in their 10-year career. It's called, Lay Your Head Down, and it's all original music that has been with them for a while. But Ben and Emily Roberts do have an interesting story, and it didn't always include a life as touring musicians.

There was a time when they considered throwing in the towel and settling down to raise their young family. But there were a few significant signs along the road that suggested they take a different path and re-write their story.

Carolina Story stopped into the studio to share some music and to talk about the day the music didn't die.
