Adam Hawkins (It's True!) and Katey Sleeveless met and began making music in 2010, had a baby and went on a 20-state tour in 2011. They're now hunkering down in the southeast working on their first album together, to be released in 2012. Accompanying this video of recent tour footage is the first (unmastered) recorded track from their upcoming The Golden Hearts release.
The two recorded "20 Different Days" in an old stone-church-turned-art-gallery in central Iowa shortly before the Hawkins family set off on a great adventure across the U.S.
Sleeveless has been doing a lot of blogging about life on the road, and, recently, about touring with a baby. Hear Nebraska will be running her tales in future posts. For now, check out this family video/song premiere.
