Backstory:

“Hilarious Recovery” was born out of the serendipitous meeting of four high-school friends, Josh Riggs, Matt Donovan, Abby Peterson, and Rachel Walters, at a mental health awareness event. Each of them had faced their own battles with mental health, and the event served as a turning point, inspiring them to turn their struggles into music. They formed the band as a medium to share stories of resilience and recovery, hoping to inspire their listeners to overcome challenges and embrace life’s hilarious twists and turns.

Their unique approach to music, combining humor with heartfelt stories, soon garnered the attention of local communities, eventually catapulting them to national fame. Their journey hasn’t been without its ups and downs, but just like their name suggests, they always find a hilarious way to recover and turn it into music.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
G D Em C
Woke up today, feeling kinda grey,
G D C
Tripped over my untied shoelace
G D Em C
Had a real bad day, but hey, what can I say?
G D C
I’m just running this crazy race

[Chorus]
G D Em C
Life’s a joke, we’re all broke
G D C
Got no hope, but we cope
G D Em C
With laugh lines, and fine wine
G D C
In this hilarious recovery of mine

[Verse 2]
G D Em C
Bills to pay, and endless days
G D C
In this confusing, amazing maze
G D Em C
But we play, and find our way
G D C
In this hilarious recovery, we sway

[Chorus]
G D Em C
Life’s a joke, we’re all broke
G D C
Got no hope, but we cope
G D Em C
With laugh lines, and fine wine
G D C
In this hilarious recovery of mine

Favorite Fan:

Our biggest fan would be Sarah Mitchell. This 25-year-old social worker from Seattle has been following our journey since our first local gig. Sarah says, “Hilarious Recovery is not just a band for me. Their music has been a source of strength at times when I felt the least strong. It reminds me to laugh at my problems and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Their song ‘Laugh Lines’ is my personal anthem, and I always play it when I need a pick-me-up. To me, they are more than just musicians; they are lifesavers.”
