It's been four years since Storyhill decided to go "on hiatus." Since then, Chris Cunningham and John Hermanson have both released solo projects, but it was difficult to keep them apart; after all, they started writing songs together in high school.

So they decided to comb through dozens of live recordings to find that magic, and they put it on a new compilation called Stages It's a collection of 16 live recordings captured in various venues around Minnesota, including a live performance recorded in The Current studio. And with the release of the new record, they arranged a mini-tour in some Minnesota and Montana venues to celebrate.

Chris and John stopped into the Radio Heartland studio to play live for us and to talk about their (latest) reunion tour.
