Cameron and Molly
Molly and Cameron began singing together in junior high. It was the start of a
life together that took them from an urban upbringing back to rural traditions
of simplicity and self-sufficiency. Those ideals are reflected in the songs they
sing. With a sound similar to Allison Krauss and Union Station, the Howards
sing about their lives on the small farm they work near Corydon, Indiana. Their
new CD, Farm Fresh, is a collection of their own songs about farm life, and
covers of some others they love to sing.
