Harmony is the word most often associated with Storyhill, the acoustic folk duo formed by childhood friends John Hermanson (left) and Chris Cunningham. Their new CD, Shade of the Trees, produced by Dan Wilson, is full of vocals that mingle and soar, often melding into what sounds like a single voice backed by intricate acoustic guitar. “We stripped this one down to the essentials,” says Cunningham: two friends, two guitars, and complete trust in the power of a well-written song. storyhill.com
