With a working friendship that spans 25 years, Matt Turk and Kevin Hupp (Iggy Pop, Edgar Winter, Rufus Wainright, Rick Derringer, Eddie Van Halen, Maceo Parker) have reemerged with a dynamic, clear new recording together. For a recent recording session of “Riley Shy”, a collaboration for Illusion Genius Ben Robinson’s new work Majikal, Turk brought in Kevin Hupp to nail the drums at the session with Hamilton bassist, Deadgrass’ Dave Richards and Grammy Winner, Sherwood Ridge studio owner C Lanzbom. After the session Turk and Hupp were speaking of new creative projects and both realized there was a window of opportunity to ride together again and cut a new record. Over the last years, these two seasoned vets endured changes yet again in the music industry, Covid and rediscovered a deeply shared love of song craft and recording. It was out of this context that "In Between" was born. Agreeing to meet over the summer of 2024 at Hupp’s studio, the Groove Room, Turk wrote all words and music, and co-writing “Without Her” with Hupp. Matt Turk sings, plays acoustic guitar, mandolin, mandola and electric guitar. Kevin Hupp produced "In Between", plays drums, percussion, keyboards and sings background vocals. Along with bassist David Richards, the three together embarked on a joyful journey creating “In Between”.
