Album Notes

Sam Misner and Megan Smith began their musical collaboration after working together as actors on a production of "Woody Guthrie's American Song" and immediately recognized a mutual love of Americana music and vocal harmony. Since then the two have played regularly around the Bay Area and beyond, and have built a steady and loyal following. The song "Madeline" (off of their first album "Halfway Home") won Song of the Year in the West Coast Songwriter's Song Competition in 2007.

Balancing their careers as actors and musicians is no easy task but the two have found the art of storytelling to be one of the common threads running through both forms. Crafting original songs rich in meaning and texture, the duo's sound is centered around unique vocal harmonies and evocative lyrics. Their influences span many genres ranging from Traditional and Old-time music, Bluegrass, Folk, and Rock and Roll, to Reggae, Motown and the Blues. Strong songwriting and an exceptional blend of voices is what sets this pair apart.
