The Hungry Tide

Tim and Daniel first met in the mid 2000's when Daniel was performing with Marty Raybon at IBMA Fan Fest. They had only a short time to rehearse before they performed their set, but Tim will always remember his first impression of Daniel: ''He was the best banjo player I had ever heard and an adamant professional.'' Daniel recalls that since first hearing Tim Raybon, ''I have held his vocal abilities as being one of the best-kept secrets in the music business.'' From the beginning they held a common bond in their love of the Osborne Brothers, Jim and Jesse, and Bill Monroe; they hit it off and have remained friends ever since.

Kingsbury is also executive producing the project with Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder, Zoolander), Jackie Cohn and Nicky Weinstock (Alex Strangelove). Michael Showalter (The Big Sick) is directing the pilot episode. The CW is expected to announce later this month whether In the Dark will be picked up to series.
