biographical info
Hush Hush evolved out of Imaginary Heaven, a group that singer/guitarist Keri Steele formed as a teenager in Vankleek Hill, Ontario. It was important to find not only the right musicians, but the right people as well. Line-ups came and went. The turning point was a month long residency at a small club in Toronto. It was where Steele first started to play electric guitar. It was also where Hush Hush realized that a more stripped down approach was the direction to take.The new line-up included classically trained cellist Anissa Hart, bassist Nina Martinez and drummer Gail. Thompson’s experience brought a real sense of tightness to Hush Hush. Gaining confidence, the band created a buzz at both New Music West in Vancouver and at the North By Northeast Music Festival in Toronto. Their new album, “Fake” , was released September 23rd in Canada on the popguru label and distributed nationally by MapleNationwide/Universal.
