Birds Of Chicago.

Birds Of Chicago's JT Nero and Allison Russell have been making what they call "secular gospel" records together since 2012. Before that, the now-married couple had worked with other bands — including, in Russell's case, the Canadian roots-music group Po' Girl. The duo's new album, Real Midnight, was produced by Joe Henry.

In this session for World Cafe, Russell and Nero perform songs from the new record and discuss touring as a young family.
