We started off the new year with our good friends Trigger Hippy. They were very kind to stop by the WBLM Studio before their roof-raising live Portland debut at Port City Music Hall! Yes it was wicked nippy on that January night, but the stage was blowin' white hot with Trigger Hippy. The music is powerful and ton-of-soul heavy. The band features Black Crowes drummer, Steve Gorman, Black Crowes guitarist, Jackie Greene and multi-platinum recording artist, Joan Osborne. They've been very busy since they came to Portland doing shows and recording their self-titled first album, which was released last Tuesday. I can't seem to get it out of the CD player in my car. It's that great! Here's what Rolling Stone says about my favorite new band's first effort.
