Goodbye Rain - Hush Kids
LCM #SongOfTheDay: ‘Goodbye Rain’ - Hush Kids
We take a trip to Nashville to meet our next LCM featured duo Jill Andrews and Peter Groenwald better known collectively as the Hush Kids. The Hush Kids is a friendship that was founded on music. It began long before the partnership had a name, when two beloved Nashville artists with impressive solo careers were put together by their publishers to write songs for other people. In time however they discovered they had been writing for themselves all along.
A gifted composer, producer, and musician Peter has toured extensively and shared the stage with artists such as The Civil Wars, Andrew Belle, and John Mayer. Jill, a founding member of the alt-country favorite ‘The Everybodyfields’, has performed alongside The Avett Brothers, Willie Nelson, and Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors and secured television placements that include Greys Anatomy, American Idol and Nashville.
Released on the 26th October the Hush Kids self-titled debut album journeys across the unexpected, the strangeness of love rather than the sweetness, the beauty of the world rather than the bullshit. Guided by writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Ian Fitchuk and joined by some of Nashville’s most sought-after musicians, the record pairs the effortless, addictive pop sensibility of The Carpenters with the dusty, atmospheric, desert landscape of Robert Plant and Allison’s Krauss’ Americana classic, “Raising Sand.”
Despite the name, Hush Kids is not about being quiet, it’s about stepping away from the wrong kind of noise to embrace the music.
