Cutting Edge Country Music

The Talking Hearts are a cutting edge honky tonk band from Boston. Channeling the spirit of country music icons Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, and Buck Owens, the Talking Hearts play witty and relatable original songs written by fiddler Rachel Rosenberg about folks who’ve done her wrong. The songs feature the thick three-part harmony singing of Rachel, Sophie Wellington (guitar) and Zach Meyer (mandolin). The trio are backed by bassist Dan Bui and drummer Mike Harmon laying down a solid rhythmic groove while pedal steel player Alex Formento adds that sweet lonesome texture. Pull up your cowboy boots and dance along to their debut album, Over Your Spell, featuring ten instant country classics!

If that ain’t country… • The Boston Globe

Over Your Spell is like a good movie - each time I play it, there’s something I didn’t pick up on the previous time. • Henry

Over Your Spell has the perfect amount of classic country thematic melodrama that any lover of Hank Williams or Buck Owens will love. [It] draws on that overly dramatized lonesome feeling most of us have felt at some point in our life and then somehow transforms it into an infectious dance fever. I felt an instant connection. • Austin Scelzo, 2023 Connecticut Arts Hero

We love it, we think it’s amazing, we just think it’s great, we can’t wait to hear it again. • Geoff and Sarah

Album sounds great, man. The punchline in Choose Your Woman Wisely is pretty solid wordplay. But I really like the tempo and plucking on The Trouble with Running. Ok, nevermind, Tryin’ to Try is my fav and it’s not close. This song speaks to me.” • Eric

I just finished listening to Over Your Spell - the music is great, the lyrics are so interesting, the variety is amazing, and the whole thing is just beautiful. • Rachel’s grandma

My heart already broke like twice just reading the track titles. • Wayward Jerry
