The Mother Hips have announced a new album, Live at The Great American Music Hall, which chronicles the California stalwarts’ shows at the famed San Francisco venue on Dec. 15 and 16, 2017.
“We feel this album represents well the band as it was at that time, and that it also represents well the community that has grown around the music contained herein,” the band writes. “In that sense these are not recordings of a band playing to a live audience so much as they are recordings of a community coming together and making the sounds of joy, of appreciation, of friendships new and old, and even some sadness. There are lots of others sounds on these recordings too but you’ll have to just listen for yourself. You might even hear your own voice in there. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.”
Check out the tracklist below. More information and pre-order information for the double live album can be found here. A portion of the proceeds from the release will go toward the Blue Rose Foundation, which works to provide pre-school scholarships to kids in need.
