Hush Kids
Hush Kids is an American indie folk/alt-country band from Nashville, Tennessee, formed in 2018 by Jill Andrews and Peter Groenwald. The group released a self-titled album on October 26th that was produced by Ian Fitchuk. Career Prior to the duo formation, Andrews and Groenwald had long been known for their personal musical projects, with Andrews as a founding member of The Everybodyfields and Groenwald as a collaborator with various artists like John Mayer and The Civil Wars. The duo met through their respective publishers in 2014 and have been called the “songwriting blind date that paid off.” Although the union was created a few years later, their first writing session proved fruitful when “What’s Your Hurry” was written. That same song eventually landed on ''Hush Kids'', their self-titled debut album, four years later. Groenwald told Billboard, “Jill was the one who said, 'and we should start a band!' I felt like I couldn't say no, because she clearly has a lot g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The bass guitar, electric bass or simply bass (), is the lowest-pitched member of the string family. It is a plucked string instrument similar in appearance and construction to an electric or an acoustic guitar, but with a longer neck and scale length, and typically four to six strings or courses.

The four-string bass is usually tuned the same as the double bass, which corresponds to pitches one octave lower than the four lowest-pitched strings of a guitar (typically E, A, D, and G). It is played primarily with the fingers or thumb, or with a pick. To be heard at normal performance volumes, electric basses require external amplification.

Indie Folk
Indie folk is a music genre that arose in the 1990s among musicians from indie rock scenes influenced by folk music. Indie folk hybridizes the acoustic guitar melodies of traditional folk music with contemporary instrumentation. The genre has its earliest origins in 1990s folk artists who displayed alternative rock influences in their music, such as Ani DiFranco and Dan Bern, and acoustic artists such as Elliott Smith and Will Oldham. In the following decade, labels such as Saddle Creek, Barsuk, Ramseur, and Sub Pop helped to provide support to indie folk, with artists such as Fleet Foxes breaking into the pop charts with albums such as ''Helplessness Blues''. In the United Kingdom, artists such as Ben Howard and Mumford & Sons emerged, with the latter band promoting the music style through their Gentlemen of the Road touring festivals. The success of acts like Mumford & Sons led some music journalists like Popjustice's Peter Robinson labelling this new British music scene a ...
