They met at an impromptu song swap, married a year and a half later and released their debut album, Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going. In the years following this release, the Promise is Hope has earned their place among New England’s finest emerging acts with a live performance that is often described as beautifully moving, inspired, and connected. These two talented songwriters have a sound that combines folk, acoustic and pop, and their intertwined voices weave magical harmonies. Their latest CD, Every Seed Must Die, is a stunning collection of tracks that are a testament to the trials of the human spirit.
