“Lovers & Monsters” follows the story of two women brought together after an unintentional audition for the circus. “The colorful moments of romance, the childish ways we hold to, and the exotic people we encounter help shape the songs and stories in the narrative of these two women as they explore their own ‘Lovers & Monsters’ ” explains Stands.

“We are thrilled to be performing in many historic opera houses and theaters during our 2016 tour. So often these places are overlooked, but they have so much to offer their communities. We are striving to give people a reason to come visit and spend time in these amazing venues,” Murphy said in the release.
