With harmonies that have been compared to The Everly Brothers and Simon & Garfunkel, melodies that sink into your skin and clever tale telling that sticks with you, Storyhill has climbed musical mountains.
Audiences can expect infectious melodies, smart story songs and heartbreaking harmonies brought together in one perfect package when they come to hear Storyhill. Chris Cunningham and John Hermanson grew up together in Montana and began playing music as a duo. They’ve performed together and separately ever since, and their sell-out reunion concerts are a testament to how popular their collaborative efforts are. Mixing old-fashioned storytelling with hauntingly spare acoustic arrangements, the duo sing about love, war and the many sorrows that accompany them. Cunningham and Hermanson have followed separate pursuits in Montana and Minnesota for several years, while reuniting as Storyhill. Cunningham produces recordings at Basecamp Recording, a studio he built just outside of Bozeman. Hermanson, who attended St. Olaf College, works as a producer in Minneapolis and continues to play with his band Alva Star.
Their 2007 eponymously titled CD led them to win the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Contest. Their latest CD, “Shade of the Trees,” was released in 2010.
The State Theatre is located at 96 East 4th Street in Zumbrota. For more information call 507-732-5210.
