Rolling Stone Country Feature and Premiers “Rise Up Singing” Video
Trigger Hippy Receives 4 out 5 Stars from American Songwriter
Trigger Hippy is drummer Steve Gorman (The Black Crowes), vocalist Joan Osborne, vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Jackie Greene (The Black Crowes, Phil Lesh and Friends), MusicRow’s Guitarist of the Year Tom Bukovac, and bassist Nick Govrik.
4 out of 5 stars: “One of this year’s finest… It’s the music, scattered and smothered with rugged, strutting attitude and a greasy, gutsy backbone that will keep you coming back for more.” – American Songwriter
“Trigger Hippy fired a shot announcing them as a band with a smoking live show and, most importantly, the songs to back it up.” – Rolling Stone Country: 20 Best Things We Saw at Americana Music Fest 2014
“‘Rise Up Singing’, Trigger Hippy – Supergroup with Joan Osborne, Jackie Greene and Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman locks into a relaxed, swaying groove.” – USA Today
“Trigger Hippy’s debut album moves easily from the ramshackle gospel of the Band to the “Black Dog”-inspired blues-rock of Led Zeppelin.” – Grammy.com
“Trigger Hippy’s forthcoming full-length debut showcases a veritable Americana supergroup led by elegant vocalists Joan Osborne and Jackie Greene. “Now, I don’t care about cool conversation/I just don’t have the time,” Osborne sings on the soulful clap-along “Rise Up Singing.” “One of these days I’m gonna rise up singing with you.” Expect such calm and confidence throughout the new collection.” – CMT Edge
“From the minute the electric organ and bluesy guitar riff kicks in at the beginning of “Rise Up Singing”, the music retains the same feeling of warm nostalgia that comes from turning on your favorite FM classic rock station.” – PopMatters
