Husband & wife team take on Susanna’s Kitchen

Want to hear a good story? Listen to an Adam Carroll song.

Husband and wife Adam and Chris Carroll have been touring together since their 2013 marriage, initially as co-headliners before developing into a popular Americana-styled duo. With their music and as a duo they demonstrate that musical soul mates do in fact exist with a delightful synergy of two distinctive and soulful voices.

Chris said working with her husband has proven to be a sort of fusion between dream and reality.

“It feels like there was something missing that whole time,” she explained. “I was terrified to write with him in the beginning. I was intimidated. I knew who I was married to. I’m crazy about his songwriting.”

The feeling is mutual: the Carrolls just collaborated on an album, “Good Farmer,” that sees Adam yielding lead-vocal duties more often than not to his wife, who instills a certain verve into one of his best songs, “Hi-Fi Love,” that’s enough to dampen the edges of your grin with teardrops.

Hear Adam and Chris Carroll at Susanna’s Kitchen on Thursday, Aug. 17. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the performance starting at 7:30. Tickets: $25 (sold only at the door.) Food and drink will be available for purchase.

Proceeds benefit Barnabas Connection, Bright Beginnings Preschool and other local nonprofits.
