Caitlin & Will was a country music duo from the United States, composed of Caitlin Lynn and Will Snyder. They rose to fame after winning the inaugural season of CMT's Can You Duet. Following their success on the show, they secured a contract with Columbia Nashville. Although "Even Now" was initially slated to be their first single, the label opted to release "Address in the Stars" instead, which hit radio on March 30, 2009, and peaked at No. 42. Their debut album was never released, and the duo dissolved in October 2009.
History
Originating from different parts of the country—Caitlin Lynn hailing from Glen Burnie, Maryland and Will Snyder from London, Kentucky—both artists initially auditioned for Can You Duet with separate partners. However, the show's producers paired them together.
After clinching the win, they inked a deal with Columbia Nashville and commenced work on their debut album. While "Even Now" was originally planned as their lead single, after conducting radio tours, the label shifted its promotional efforts toward "Address in the Stars", which climbed to No. 42 on the Hot Country Songs chart by June 2009. Their first appearance at the Grand Ole Opry took place on May 22, 2009.
On March 31, 2009, they released a digital EP titled Caitlin & Will - EP, featuring six tracks produced by songwriter Chris Lindsey. The EP achieved a peak position of No. 51 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and reached No. 46 on the Top Heatseekers chart. It contained "Address in the Stars" alongside five other songs intended for their unreleased full-length album Dark Horse. On October 1, 2009, Caitlin & Will parted ways with Columbia Records Nashville and subsequently disbanded.
