Big Shoulders Records | 2025

Big Shoulders Records announces the return of two-time GRAMMY® winner Kurt Elling and guitarist Charlie Hunter with SuperBlue: Guilty Pleasures Vol. 2, the latest installment in their creative partnership. Out May 9, 2025, the album continues their offbeat approach to familiar songs, reinterpreted with grit, groove, and jazz-forward musicianship.

Following the GRAMMY nominated albums,  SuperBlue (2021) and The Iridescent Spree (2023), this new release finds Elling and Hunter continuing their bold, groove-driven take on beloved tracks, reinvented with their signature sound. With a powerhouse rhythm section and arrangements that blur genre lines, the duo transforms well-known tunes into something strikingly fresh.
