Live Music: Hush

Austin, TX - The story of Hush began in 1997 in a small Denmark town. Guitarist Michael Hartmann had just returned home after a  stint in America playing "speed rock' in marie Franks heavy metal band.

After becoming disenchanted with the limitations of heavy metal, Michael decided he wanted to persue something more mellow.

He set out in search of a female vocalist with a melodic voice and found 17-year-old Dorthe Gerlach -- actually, Michael's dad found her.

When Michael heard Dorthe for the first time, he knew her voice was perfect for his music.

Realising they shared musical chemistry, the pair formed Hush.

Overtime, they became closer and fell in loe, which made life simpler for both. They started working on their craft and incorporated their very own twist on the American alt-country scene that has them being compared to 70s legends Fleetwood Mac.

The duo released their first album, A Lifetime, a few years ago in the UK.
