A lot can happen in five years, and for the husband-and-wife duo Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, the time between "Exploration," their first album together in 2005, and "Bright Examples" (Ninth Street Opus Records, Feb. 22, 2011), their new, full-length collaborative project featuring producers Andy Cabic (lead singer/songwriter in the band Vetiver) and Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Vetiver), has been one nonstop whirlwind of activity. Not only has the couple toured extensively both as a duo and as part of the Guthrie Family Rides Again tour (with Sarah Lees dad, Arlo Guthrie), theyve also released the childrens album "Go Waggaloo" (Smithsonian Folkways), a live DVD entitled "Folk Song," a solo album by Johnny (Ex Tempore), parented their two young daughters and moved from South Carolina to the Berkshires in western Massachusetts, near where Sarah Lee was raised.

Sarah Lee was two years old when she made her singing debut as part of a children's chorus on Arlo's 1981 album "Power of Love." Although growing up within a celebrated music family, it wasn't until after graduating high school that she discovered her love for making music. Together with Irion, the budding artist realized her true calling of being a songwriter. Sarah Lee would forgo attending college, and pursued a career in music.
Irion is no stranger to the indie-folk/rock scene, having been an influential member of such nationally known acts as Queen Sarah Saturday and Dillon Fence. Since the time Irion and Sarah Lee got married, he has released two critically acclaimed solo albums, entitled "Ex Tempore" (2007) and "Unity Lodge" (2001), and she released a self-titled solo recording in 2001.
