Album Notes

Fiske and Herrera are creating a stir. Combining Indie-Folk with the passion and precision of Alt-Rock, the duo has created something rare; a new sound, and a trail of audiences captivated by their tight harmony and ambitious arrangements.

The duo officially formed in January, 2006, when long time friends and collaborators Jared Fiske and Amy Herrera found themselves on parallel paths. Both had recently abandoned long-held jobs and lifestyles in exchange for a chance to write, record and perform full time. Their initial union was a marriage of convenience. However, time would reveal that the merging of their considerable talents as songwriters and performers would yield a whole that was far greater than its parts. Fueled by this discovery, Fiske and Herrera decided to make an ambitious
leap with their newly created act. The duo embarked on a two and a half month tour of the United States. When they returned they had crafted the beginnings of what would become their debut album. Teaming up with production wizard Seth Connelly, F & H entered the studio in March ‘07 and recorded an ambitious full length LP titled “Just Breathe” which they released in Sept. 2007. In light of their emotional live performances and powerful debut CD, it is clear that Fiske and Herrera are an exceptional creative force, with drive and talent to match, and they are going places.

Fiske and Herrera's performances feature both Jared and Amy on lead vocals, acoustic guitars and occasionally bass. They are sometimes joined onstage by bassist Seth Adams. They can be found playing clubs, coffeehouses, festivals and the occasional street corner or living room, in addition to ongoing songwriting and recording efforts.
