Marriages in music are nothing new. June and Johnny Cash performed some amazing duets. and Sonny and Cher had a top-notch variety show. Nic and Heather Dillon, the two suns of the Casados planetary system, are Urbana's own musical married couple. More refined and mature than the bubblegum love songs of spousal Mates of State, Casados' focus is storytelling, and they do it superbly. 

Check out their Myspace page for some sweet stripped-down tunes. You can also see them perform in the life-endingly good Pygmalion Music Festival, coming up in September right here in town. 

The drummer for the indie folk outfit, Brady Bush, also has a pretty good (and excellently-written) blog about the scene here in CU. GET AN EDUCATION!
