Whitehorse - WhitehorseLuke Doucet and Melissa McClelland have much in common. Both have served time in Sarah McLachlan’s band and pursued solo careers as singer-songwriters. They married in 2006 and have now tied the musical knot in Whitehorse. There’s genuine passion on the duo’s debut, in the sparkling harmonies of “Emerald Isle” and the bluesy riffs of “Killing Time is Murder.” The couple’s intimacy shines covering Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire,” on which McClelland’s sublime vocals and Doucet’s twanging guitar burn bright.
