Biography

Alasdair MacKenzie, Chris Haley, and Liz Kantor formed Hush Club after finding each other in college. Now, they are based in Somerville, MA, making lush, melodic, and propulsive indie rock that examines the nuances of our shared human experience. Under the Radar describes Hush Club as “explor[ing] spaces ranging from intimate to celestial, evoking honest confessions and wide expanses.” Their latest single, “One Step Away,” tells of an enduring but complicated friendship over an infectious beat, with impassioned vocals, rich instrumental textures, and lush harmonies. In 2022, Hush Club was nominated for two Boston Music Awards––their album Fingerprints & Stains (November 2021) for Album/EP of the Year and the band itself for Folk Artist of the Year. Other recent highlights for Hush Club include headlining a sold-out show at Cambridge, MA’s historic Club Passim and opening for national acts including Michael Seyer and Wabie. Fingerprints & Stains was praised by Glide Magazine, Vanyaland, and Boston Hassle, in addition to the Under the Radar writeup quoted above. Fingerprints & Stains also received extensive airplay on college radio, charting as the #5 debut on the NACC 200 in its first week and staying on the chart for three weeks.
