Brendan Courtney is telling me how he began working with Sonya Lennon. The duo have a way of reeling you into a story.

There’s an ease with them — comfortable momentary silences, bursts of throaty laughter, an ability to trail off while the other picks up and finishes the sentence — that you only feel between real friends.
