Jonatha Brooke and Glen Phillips

First as half of the folk-pop duo The Story and later as a solo artist, singer/songwriter Jonatha Brooke has spent nearly two decades incorporating folk, pop and rock into her passionate and heartfelt songs.

While attending Amherst College in Boston, Brooke joined up with fellow freshman Jennifer Kimball to form The Story, which released its debut (Grace in Gravity) in 1991. Following 1993's The Angel in the House, Kimball and Brooke parted ways, with Brooke pursuing a solo career that saw her release a string of widely praised albums. The forthcoming Careful What You Wish For is her first studio album since 2004's Back in the Circus.

Glen Phillips is known for launching Toad the Wet Sprocket in 1986, at the age of 16. By 1988, Toad had signed with Columbia Records, recorded five albums and toured widely for 10 years til they disbanded. In 2004, Phillips, with Nickel Creek, released a long-awaited collaboration as Mutual Admiration Society. The self-titled album had been recorded in 2000 and featured songs written by both Phillips alone and as collaborative efforts, and was released on Sugar Hill Records.

In 2005, Phillips returned to a major label via Universal Records' imprint Lost Highway Records and released the critically acclaimed Winter Pays For Summer. The album included the radio single "Duck and Cover." Phillips released his third proper solo album, Mr. Lemons in the spring of 2006. The music video for the album's first single, "Everything But You," made its debut as a Yahoo! Exclusive Premiere on May 11, 2006.

In 2007 Phillips reunited with Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek as well as Grant-Lee Phillips and Luke Bulla to perform as part of The Various & Sundry Tour.
In January 2008, Phillips released an EP with Talk Talk and Peter Gabriel influences titled Secrets of the New Explorers.

Phillips has also reportedly completed an album with Neilson Hubbard and Garrison Starr under the tentative band name Plover for an expected release sometime in 2008.

Jonatha Brooke - half of the beloved folk-duo, Story - is known for her beautiful, expressive voice and great songwriting. She's added to her acoustic sound an electronic-organic element (think Beth Orton and Aimee Mann) that makes her music intimate, spine-tingling and modern.

"An artist challenging her sound without losing her voice." -All Music Guide

"Phillips has reinvented himself in the style of the '70s singer-songwriter with the same pop savvy he brought to Toad the Wet Sprocket." -Hybrid Magazine
