Karen Savoca and Pete Heitzman - in studio

Karen Savoca and Pete Heitzman keep things simple. They've won songwriting contests and have been offered recording contracts, but to this day they prefer to keep control of their music to themselves.

St. Paul, Minn. — And it's paid off. Karen and Pete's latest album is "In the Dirt", recorded and produced by the duo at their house in upstate New York. They've made two swings through Minnesota this spring and made it through the Morning Show studio to speak with Dale and Jim Ed.

Songs performed: "Green," "Sixteen Windmills," "Give Me a Kiss," and "What is Free."
