They aren’t strangers to the music scene. They’ve both won songwriting awards, Coco has been on Conan O’Brien twice as a backup singer for the wonderful Rebecca Pidgeon. She hit both Billboard and the Country charts with a bullet for “New England Song”. She was in the original, Boston cast of “Hair”.
Lafe worked for record companies for many years, released a studio album of 14 original songs in 2005 (including the “Folk Song of the Year” (Prayin’ for Rain) (with grammy nominated producer Mark Greenberg)
They write most of their songs on the steering wheel and travel with their manager, Lilla, a small beagle. (If you watch her closely you’ll notice she lip-syncs to all the words.)
