Trigger Hippy

Drummer and co-founder, Steve Gorman, says Trigger Hippy is "a rock band that can jam." Their sound incorporates gritty blues, traditional soul, rockin' grooves, sublime vocal harmonies and an earthy sensibility steeped in Americana roots.

Along with Gorman (who also co-founded The Black Crows), the band consists of Joan Osborne (vocals), Jackie Green (vocals, guitar, keys), Tom Bukovac (guitar) and Nick Govrik (bass).

They deliver 11 original songs that have a well-worn, timeless vibe. Stand outs from this self-titled debut include "Rise Up Signing," "Heartbreak On The Line," "Tennessee Mud," "Pretty Mess" and "Ain't Persuaded Yet."

"Sure, you can see this as a 'player's band,' but it really is a band, in the true sense of that word," said Gorman. "We don't see this simply as a project. It's vital that Trigger Hippy be a real communal effort that feels good to all of us."

Trigger Hippy recently performed at the XPoNential Music Festival and at the Americana Music Festival. They are winding up their current.
