Scott Amendola, Charlie Hunter to ‘Pucker’ up at the Blue Whale

A musical partnership that reaches back 20 years, the meeting of drummer Scott Amendola with seven-string guitarist Charlie Hunter has yielded a wealth of memorable recordings, including Hunter’s album-length cover of Bob Marley’s “Natty Dread” and 2012’s sparkling duet, “Not Getting Behind Is the New Getting Ahead.” Here the two reconvene in support of the groove-heavy “Pucker,” a new duet album featuring Amendola as lead songwriter.
