Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard have a relationship that lies beyond band mates. Forming in 2001 immediately after their marriage, the two found themselves in a sea of differences years later and decided to call it quits after their fourth album in 2008. Fortunately for their dedicated indie rock and folk fans the two discovered a whirlwind of beauty and remorse as they define their relationship not only as musicians but as friends after a tumultuous marriage.

Their latest release, Loud Planes Fly Low, show that Ivan and Kelly have evolved as musicians in the most candid manner. Exposing flaws and revealing realizations through romantic woes, vanishing keyboards, and haunting melodies.

Songs performed: "Second Bird of Paradise," "Cover Ears," and "Woods."
