Sometimes two plus two equals three. That's the case with Kingston's Ciara Roberts and Rae Corcoran. Talented and established songwriters and performing artists in their own right, the pair have come together with a new musical project, Tiny Horse. And the resulting musical sum is larger than the name implies. On a sunny September afternoon, they met with podcast hosts Riley and Reid in Kingston's Skeleton Park to share all that's inspired Tiny Horse, along with one of new duo's newly crafted songs.
