Our most recent "living room concert" is another Radio Heartland "two-fer": Chris Cunningham, formerly of the duo Storyhill, is out with a new solo album called If You Knew All Along. He's on the road promoting that release with touring partner Wes Kirkpatrick, a Nashville songwriter with Colorado roots.

It's been a few years since Storyhill stopped performing as a duo and went on an "open-ended hiatus." Chris Cunningham and Johnny Hermanson went their separate ways to pursue whatever was next in their lives. Chris is back at his home in Bozeman, Mont., with his family and his studio, Basecamp, where he tracked his latest collection of songs. He and Wes Kirkpatrick are trading off songs at duo gigs around Minnesota this weekend. They took the time to bring their touring show into the Radio Heartland studio.
