Hush Kids

Hush Kids is a friendship with music between Jill Andrews and Peter Groenwald. It began long before it 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, they discovered they had been writing for themselves all along. Their earliest sessions revealed more than chemistry, they revealed kindredness, an innate understanding that allowed two very different people to write some of the most deeply personal music of their careers. Hush Kids’ 2018 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 paired 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.” Their latest release, Weatherman, glowingly follows in its older sibling's steps. It's a gorgeous crystalline love song from the pair. Accompanied by only acoustic guitars and some watery keys and percussion, Groenwald and Andrews’ voices interlock in flawless harmony, delivering an instrumentally slight but lyrically cutting offering. The pair search for beauty in hard times, ultimately finding the hope they need within their loved ones.
