Trigger Hippy is the roots supergroup out of Nashville. Coming out of the AmericanaFest they were crowned as the Best Supergroup by Rolling Stone in their “20 Best Things We Saw at AmericanaFest”. The group is made up of singers Jackie Greene and Joan Osborne, Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman, bassist Nick Govrik, and guitarist Tom Bukovac. Most supergroup efforts are hit-or-miss affairs, especially given the conflicting egos and visions of musicians otherwise used to performing with an established set of bandmates or acting as a leader in their own right. This is not the case here. These talented individuals have a common feel and passion for the music and it can be heard in their playing. Their album was just released this past September and has earned raves from critics. Their musical influences are from the blues, rhythm & blues, soul, folk, and country-rock. Here they are performing at the XPoNential Music Festival 2014 this past September in Camden, NJ. WXPN, which is the sponsor of XPoNential is the public radio station of the University of Pennsylvania. They can be found at XPN.org, and for those who haven’t given them a listen. If you do I think you will agree that they are also one of the best radio stations in the country.
