Now signed to Gulf Coast Records, the powerhouse duo is thrilled to join the label’s esteemed roster. “This album is a love letter to the music that shaped us—gritty, soulful, and alive,” says frontwoman Jenny Langer. “In a world of digital perfection, Live To Be This is all about real musicians playing with real feeling. And we’re honored to have some of our favorite artists guest on this record.” Guitarist Randy Jacobs adds, “Little did I know Jenny and I would find ourselves in such great company with Mike Zito’s Gulf Coast Records.
