Биография

“We should start a band.” Peter looks at Jill, six week-old baby on one side and guitar slung on the other. For Peter, a father himself, the timing is unexpected, but nearly everything about their partnership has been. He plays the song back and listens for a minute. “Absolutely” he says, “We should start a band” Incredible, instinctive vocal symmetry, captivating melodies, and intimate, intelligent lyrics speak to the years of tireless craftsmanship and well-earned successes by both artists respectively. Peter has toured extensively and shared the stage with The Civil Wars, Andrew Belle, and John Mayer. Jill Andrews, a founding member of the everybodyfields, has performed alongside The Avett Brothers, Willie Nelson, and Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors and secured TV placements that include Greys Anatomy, American Idol, and Nashville. Hush Kids self-titled debut 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 Kraus’s Americana classic, “Raising Sand.” Despite the name, Hush Kids is not about quiet, it’s about stepping away from the wrong kind of noise to embrace the music. -Shannon Lee Miller
