Trigger Hippy started out as a Nashville hang: bassist Nick Govrik, former Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman and whichever local players happened to be free. They played their first show in February 2009 at the Cox Capitol Theatre in Macon, Georgia, and for the next few years the lineup rotated like a jam-night sign-up sheet.
By the fall of 2012 a steady crew had taken shape, Joan Osborne, Jackie Greene and Tom Bukovac alongside Govrik and Gorman, and they announced they were going to make a record. A Record Store Day EP came first, on Back to Black Friday in November 2013, and the self-titled album followed in September 2014. "Rise Up Singing" is the pick of it: warm, rootsy blues rock with a gospel lift, the guitars loose and greasy, the voices stacked up and pushing for the rafters.
The band went on a long break in the summer of 2015, then came back in 2019 as a four-piece, Govrik and Gorman now joined by guitarist and singer Ed Jurdi and singer Amber Woodhouse, with a new album, Full Circle and Then Some, out that October.
