St. Paul, Minn. — A family that tours together stays together. Isn't that the saying? That's the case for the husband-wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel that make up Mates of State, who have brought their two children on tour with them.

The indie-pop twosome formed in 1997 when Kori and Jason met in Lawrence, KS. Since then, they've released five full-length albums including their latest, "Re-Arrange Us."

Songs performed: "My Only Offer," "Think Long," and "You Are Free."
