Rooted in the collaborative chemistry of husband-and-wife duo KP and Johnny Hawthorn, The HawtThorns' official debut, Morning Sun is a collection of warm, West Coast-influenced songs that balance the most engaging parts of the bandmates' different backgrounds. It's an amped-up Americana album with sun-kissed songwriting, fiery electric guitar, and lush vocal harmonies that evoke the California coastline as much as the Bible Belt countryside. From the heartland rock & roll of "All I Know" to the soulful empowerment anthem "Rebel Road" to the chiming, high-spirited lead single "Shaking, Morning Sun shows the full range of the HawtThorns' interests and abilities.
