For the final installment of Cover Club at the Sluice Box, Brad Hinton gives a tease of what's next for him with an unreleased track, "Middle Man". Recorded in late March, the session featured three bands: Psalmships, Katie Frank & The Pheromones, and Brad Hinton. Katie Frank sat in on the session and harmonizes with the Bucks County bluesman on yet another song of heartbreak.

Brad explains, "Most of my heartbreak songs are written as a way to deal with a relationship after it goes south, and "Middle Man" is no exception. It's basically a plea for consideration."
But where does it fit for Brad Hinton? When asked if it will be on his next album, Brad explained: "I've been writing material for my next album, which is tentatively titled Chickadee, and will complete a trio of bird-themed albums, Mourning Dove and Whippoorwill before it. It will be more pastoral and expansive than the first two. "Middle Man" may or may not be on Chickadee."
With that cleared up in a not so definitive manner, perhaps if we look at the bands Brad is a part of we can find where it will find a home.
First there is, The Brad Hinton Band: A 6 piece blues rock band, featuring Brad, Phil D'Agostino, Kevin Killen, Paul Wilkinson, Daniel "Scrappy" Bower, and Raph Cutrufello + a rotating cast of characters. The Brad Hinton Band or just Brad Hinton was what the first two albums were released under. But, expect to find the next album under a different moniker as Brad has somewhat moved on. It could be under Hinton, Bower, Jones: "A trio where we each take turns leading our individual songs, but with three guitars, three vocals around one mic," but that seems to be for more special occasions not so much for releasing new Brad material. There's also The Brad Hinton Trio, which "is a stripped down affair of a more acoustic nature." To find out for sure, catch Brad at upcoming shows and see where the song falls into the set-lists. Now don't be confused when seeing Brad with Hezekiah Jones. Yes, Raph, Brad, & Phil are all in Hezekiah Jones as well as Kevin Killen, and others rotating in, but that's a completely different band, being the "musical vehicle of Raph Cutrufello" says Brad.

Hezekiah Jones at Pastorious Park on 6/18
Hezekiah Jones at Johnny Brenda's on 6/26 on the bill for the Lovers League album release show with Spinning Leaves and New Sweden.
