Hungry Mother was formed by Billy Smith and Kip Gaudette, in December 2002 as both a creative outlet and to promote their music consultation and recording business: InterVibe Recordings; Mood Tree Productions, located in Pensacola, FL. They have been busy writing and recording ever since.
During the writing phase of their third CD, Billy and Kip decided that a huge ingredient missing in their music was Mitch Hull. Mitch is considered one of the best percussionists today. His quick feel and hands, and his attention to detail have earned him studio and live performance work all over the U.S. Mitch is now a part of Hungry Mother!
A few months passed, and as CD production continued feverishly the urge for HM to perform on stage started to burn. Billy and Kip decided to reach back into their past and contact former bandmates Mike Owens and Rusty Gwaltney. Mike and Rusty are great musicians in their own right, and because of their involvement future Hungry Mother is excited for future creative efforts.
Hungry Mother is now complete and many feel HM has a unique sound all its own. They’re just beginning to break the music scene wide ass open! So please, enjoy their third CD effort called Scream Therapy. Why? Because a little Scream can feel so good!
