The Story was an early 1990s folk-rock duo comprised of Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball.

History

The folk-pop duo The Story consisted of Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball, who first met each other in 1981 while freshmen at Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts. Originally called "Jonatha and Jennifer", they performed regularly throughout the Boston area until graduation, at which time Brooke started working in a dance company, and Kimball went to a publishing firm.

In 1989 the duo recorded a demo, dubbed "Over Oceans", and were quickly signed by Green Linnet Records. Changing their name to The Story, their debut album Grace in Gravity appeared in 1991. Elektra Records then snapped up the band, reissuing the album a year later. Angel in the House followed in 1993, but a year later the Story dissolved.

Known for their ethereal and dissonant vocal harmonies, both Brooke and Kimball have gone on to critically-acclaimed solo careers. Although The Story's work has been highly regarded by critics and fans alike, both Brooke and Kimball have individually downplayed the band's work.
