Little Rock AR - Husband and wife multi-instrumental duo who charm audiences one stage at a time. Their music fills the space between indie pop and alternative blues rock, combining old instrumentation with new production elements. Their show embraces the energy of Sonny and Cher, with light-hearted banter and energy that can only come from still being love-sick fools after 17 years of marriage. The pair have graced the stages of Nashville to Austin, from 40-person SoFar Sounds shows to events with over 10,000 attendants.

As straight-passing members of the LGBT+ community, they find themselves with a foot in two worlds. Their work is centered around the journey of finding happiness and truth in a world clinging to labels. Their music speaks to hopeless romantics,  band nerds, and creative spirits.

Chris Long was raised on the blues of the Delta South, picking up every instrument in those garage rock jam sessions. Veronica Wirges is a classically trained saxophonist and pianist, with a love for world music percussion. It is as odd of a match, musically, as you could marry. So that is what they did, quite literally. They met, fell in love, and said I do.

Veronica feels a kinship with the quirkiness and sonic complexity of antique instruments, such as a 100-year-old 5-ft-tall bass saxophone and a 1930s Silvertone Accordion. While Chris harnesses the warmth of vintage keys and guitars from the 1960s-1990s. By integrating these iconic sounds with the modern-day intermingling of genres, world percussion, and found sound samples for beat making, they create their signature vibe.

In 2022, they signed a selection of songs for licensing representation with various agents. In December, a collection of four songs was released by the music licensing house APM (part of Universal Music Group) under the label Kinetik Musik. The couple has been featured in an MTV.com article.
