Paige & Palermo

Jennifer Paige and Coury Palermo met under difficult circumstances. In January of 2008, Jennifer listened as Coury sang at her father’s funeral, still numb from the realization that both parents were gone within weeks of one another. “Coury was a friend of my brother, and he was inspired to write a song for him after hearing the news”, says Paige. “A few weeks later, my brother gave me the demo to his song; and, over the next months while listening to my ipod on shuffle, “Not Enough” would come on and catch me completely off guard. Before I knew it, I’d be crying like a baby. I’ve always believed music to be a truly healing force, and that’s exactly what that song was for me. That was my serendipitous introduction to Coury.”

Life carried on. Over the next two years, both artists continued to release records for their solo endeavors, and toured worldwide in support of their individual releases. Eventually their paths would cross again in late 2009 at a party in Nashville, TN. The two became fast friends and began writing for Jennifer’s upcoming release. “It’s like finding your twin, separated at birth”, says Palermo. “Yeah, we are practically the same person”, agrees Paige, with a grin.

When asked, “Why a duo, when you both have busy careers as solo artists?” Coury responds, “Jen and I both want to create music that communicates honestly about the ups & downs of every day life - the good, bad and the uncomfortable. We are challenging ourselves to experiment beyond any preconceived box we’ve found ourselves in musically, and we’re loving the freedom that it brings.”

For Jennifer and Coury, a brave new era has begun. Combining Paige’s pop sensibilities and Coury’s often heartbreaking approach to storytelling, they create a fresh new sound, and music that speaks to the soul.
