About the Artist
Storyhill was an acoustic modern folk duo composed of singer-songwriters Chris Cunningham and Johnny Hermanson. They began playing together in junior high, and released their first CD while they were in college in 1991. Over their 6-year professional career, they independently released a total of nine albums, which have sold, to date, roughly 35,000 pieces total. They were known as Chris & Johnny for several years, until they changed their name to Storyhill in 1996. They played roughly 100 shows a year for several years, mostly at colleges and coffeehouses around the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. In June 1997, they played their final concert as a duo, in their hometown of Bozeman, Montana. Intricate and intertwining vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar parts defined the Storyhill sound.

Band members: Chris Cunningham - vocals, guitar, harmonica
Johnny Hermanson - vocals, guitar, harmonica, violin

Product Description
Shapeshifting is Storyhill / Chris & Johnny's first CD. Recorded in early 1991, while Chris & Johnny were still in college, it was one of the first self-released CDs in the Upper Midwest music scene. Songs such as "Everything in a VW Van,""Painting," and "Things I Love" highlight this CD's combination of touching and innocent lyrics with a surprising musical sophistication. Shapeshifting was originally recorded in a weekend on a semi-pro 8-track recorder, and retains a homespun sound and charm.

Album Description

Joselyn & wild roots - celebrate the release of their debut full-length CD, ShapeShifing. This new CD, with its groundbreaking mix of folk, soul, and spoken word, is real and primal, full of unexplained metaphors, and dances close with a smile for the soul. Joselyn's voice soothes with spoken word and funky, soulful melody, while catching the spirit in the sudden excitement that something…is coming.

ShapeShifing, released on Calabash Productions, and produced by Kevin T. Williams (Dave Wakeling, Soulsonics), is the culmination of many years of inspiration, heartbreak and triumph. It is brought to life by the chemistry of the musicians in wild roots, including Viviana Rama on bass (Alana Davis), Alan Lightner on drums (Ledisi), Marti Walker on flute & harmonies (X-Tribe), Al Keith on percussion (Michael Rose). The album also features special guests Leon Mobley on percussion (Ben Harper), Don Barrozo on trumpet, Todd Leiberman on guitar, and Tedashi Namba on keyboards.
