There were sparks at that first meeting. Many musical, some not. But it took quite a few years before Chuck and Mira came together as a musical duo. And a few more before they became Chuck and Mira Costa.
Each born to musical families, Chuck had been trying to get a career going as a singer/songwriter while Mira had been studying musical theatre. (Incidentally, Mira's father is Ron Sowell - the music director for NPR's Mountain Stage, heard every Saturday at 3pm on JPR). They were both looking at a crossroads of a sort when Mira reached out with an offer to collaborate. It worked.
Since their debut (the title track of which featured a witty musical palindrome), The Sea The Sea has been piling up positive reviews for their lush folk/pop. Their latest, called Stumbling Home, was released in August 2020.
