American Thunder, the 2011 release, gave a clear inclination to the direction things were going with the band. Written and recorded by Hudson and drummer Shaun Rawlings, along with a rotating cast of friends, the album perfectly captured the songs that fans had grown to love from live shows (“Indie Rock N Roll Queen”) and paired them with newer songs that were easily the band’s most charming releases to date – (“Bookstore Girl”).
Earlier this year, the band released Curious, an aptly-named record featuring a single of the same name. The band was invited out by good friend Kevin Devine as support for a fall tour that included Now Now, and were joined each night by Mike Strandberg (guitar, Kevin Devine & the GDB) on bass. We met up with Harrison before the Atlanta show at the Masquerade and recorded two unique versions of songs from Curious – “Heartache Emergency” and “Hard to Say”. We also recorded a session with Kevin that will be made available in the coming weeks. Thanks to our friends at Dynes Media for the excellent footage.
