Where Are They Now? : The Wreckers

You remember the Wreckers don't you? The duo that stormed on to the scene with their a number one country hit with there debut single 'Leave The Pieces', then scored a second top ten hit with 'My Oh, My'. They also got numerous award nominations including a Grammy nomination. So they burned up the charts but where are the members Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp now?



Well Jessica is now signed to Warner Bros. Nashville and last February released her solo debut single 'Boy like Me' to country radio which peaked at # 30 on the charts. It was the first single of her major label debut (she previously released an independent album in 2002 titled "Preface") named after what is set to be the second single 'A Woman Needs' which she says was her personal choice for the first single. The album which doesn't have a set release date yet but according to Amazon.com is to be released December 31, 2009.

Michelle on the other hand was previously a teen pop/rock sensation is now continuing on the country route with the same label as Jessica. Michelle who has had success with every thing she tries recently released her debut country single 'Sooner or Later' and it debuted at # 59. 'Sooner' is the first single from her upcoming album "Everything Comes and Goes" which she has stated will be released in November of this year. The album will be her third solo major label (fourth overall) studio album. The sound of album is classified as country but based of the two songs from the album I've heard she is still keeping her previous sound of acoustic/alternative and her sound as a Wrecker close together.
