Diehl, general manager, Reunion Records. “Many people weren’t aware that
LaRue’s first albumB scanned over 75,000 units. Phillip and Natalie have
been out there building a solid foundation for almost three years now, and
when you build your audience that way they stay with you a long time.”

“Someday,” while their debut video, “Reason” received airplay on The Disney
Channel. They have been featured on the covers of Campus Life, Brio and
