Guitarist Charlie Hunter and vocalist Lucy Woodward joined forces in 2018, and the chemistry was undeniable, releasing their debut album Music!Music!Music! in 2019. They bring their thrilling intensity to reimagining blues hits by Blind Willie Johnson, Bessie Smith, and Nina Simone’s soulful songs and jazz standards, popularized by Ella Fitzgerald and Teresa Brewer. Charlie Hunter is widely considered the authority on the seven and eight string guitar. Lucy Woodward has released albums on the legendary jazz label Verve, and after much collaboration with Snarky Puppy, she released albums on their label, GroundUP Music. Hunter and Woodward now tour as a trio with a drummer.
