The Wreckers is an American country pop - duo consisting of singer - and songwriters Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp.

Band history

In 2004, Grammy- winning Michelle Branch and background singer Jessica Harp decided to start a music project that would be a mixture of Michelle Branch's pop - rock style and Jessica Harp's classic country style.

The two managed to combine their different musical styles very successfully. Jessica Harp acts as lyricist, Michelle Branch as composer.

In 2005 they played the song The Good Kind for the US drama series One Tree Hill . In the same year they also supported Carlos Santana on his album All That I Am with the song I'm Feeling You .

On their album Stand Still, Look Pretty , the song My, Oh My has country influences; the other pieces are more like pop music with country elements.

At the beginning of 2008, the two musicians stated that they would go their separate ways. Harp and Branch are planning further joint projects in the future.
