Intro: Members: Kristin Kearns, Adam Gooch, Casey Conrad, Nate Thurston Formed in early 2007 against an unlikely backdrop of fields, Darling Parade was created as an offshoot of a recording project by lead vocalist Kristin Kearns, and Adam Gooch. It took over two years for the Pop/Rock group to be finalized with the addition of Casey Conrad on drums, and Nate Thurston on bass guitar.
