Ariana Hodes and Cassandra Bailey-Langjahr

are best friends who met bartending in Nashville TN, in 2017.  Their first co-write resulted in nothing less than magic, the blend of their voices nothing short of astonishing. They decided to play out as a duo, putting themselves out on tour collaborating on a set combining their previously written solo songs. Along the way they stopped at a farmhouse in Iowa for a short writing retreat. One pandemic and two moves later, they're putting the finishing touches on these songs, to be released late 2024, and into 2025 as a series of singles. 

Most people would have given up on a project like this one, but these songs are too good, the lyrics still pertinent, and the passion still present from these two accomplished performers. Wherever they play together, the quality of their close harmonies never fail to impress, the catchiness of their hooks get audiences humming, and invariably wanting to know where they can find the recordings. Well, as they say in the restaurant world where these two have scraped up every dollar they could to make this music: heard, and yes chef, right away chef.
