For those unaware, Matt Turk releases his 6th solo studio album with longtime producer and friend Kevin Hupp. “In Between” is a collection of 7 original tunes crafted over the last several years highlight Turk’s dedication to song craft with great success.

Satisfying original melodies, strong, clear lyrical content, professionalism and expertise embody “In Between,” itself a great group of tunes with production on point, which all showcases the fact that “In Between” is a triumph, whichever way you listen to it.

1. “Everybody in the World”
2. “In the Middle of the Night”
3. “Without Her”
4. “I am a Guitar”
5. “Lottery”
6. “This Old Way”
7. “Beautiful Day”

This magnificently sculpted new recording opens on the beautifully elegant, Dylanesque “Everybody in the World” and that is backed nicely by the jaunty pop sensibilities of “In the Middle of the Night,” the free flowing “Without Her,” the countrified balladry of the languishing “I am a Guitar,” before the lonesome ode “Lottery” is brought forth, the album rounding out on the effectively impassioned “This Old Way,” closing on a pleasingly gentle hipsway that guides “Beautiful Day.”

With a working friendship that spans 25 years, Matt Turk and Kevin Hupp (Iggy Pop, Rufus Wainright, Ian Hunter, Maceo Parker, Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter, Eddie Van Halen) have reemerged with a dynamic, clear new recording together. For a recent recording session of “Riley Shy”, a collaboration for Illusion Genius Ben Robinson’s new work Majikal, Turk brought in Kevin Hupp to nail the drums at the session with Hamilton bassist, Deadgrass’ Dave Richards and Grammy Winner, Sherwood Ridge studio owner C Lanzbom.

After the session Turk and Hupp were speaking of new creative projects and both realized there was a window of opportunity to ride together again and cut a new record. Over the last years, these two seasoned vets endured changes yet again in the music industry, Covid and rediscovered a deeply shared love of song craft and recording.

It was out of this context that In Between was born. Agreeing to meet over the summer of 2024 at Hupp’s studio, the Groove Room, Turk wrote all words and music, and co-writing “Without Her” with Hupp. Matt Turk sings, plays acoustic guitar, mandolin, mandola and electric guitar.

Kevin Hupp produced In Between, plays drums, percussion, keyboards and sings background vocals. Along with bassist David Richards, the three together embarked on a joyful journey creating “In Between”.
