L.A.-based alternative country Americana duo Big Harp are comprised of husband and wife Chris Senseney and Stefanie Drootin. Both had been active in bands on the Omaha indie scene -- Senseney as part of the group Art in Manila and Drootin with the Good Life, Bright Eyes, Azure Ray, She & Him, and others -- when they met, fell in love, and began raising a family. The pair recorded a debut album, White Hat, with Rilo Kiley's Pierre de Reeder over a three-day stint in L.A. The album appeared in the fall of 2011 from Saddle Creek Records. ~ Steve Leggett
