This moment captured this duo's appreciation for the lovely audience's applause, at the Horseshoe Tavern. The Free Spirits, Chris Birkett and Shari Tallon celebrated their 2nd album release concert March 12, 2025.

While they play many different styles and genres, one thing is in common, the melodies are strong and the production (courtesy Birkett) is flawless. The songs are arranged perfectly to highlight their strengths and in doing so, their music elevates the audience. Lyrically their songs deals with love, relationships, politics, spirituality, and even care of the earth.
