While stuck on a tour bus somewhere in Europe, 3 Doors Down bassist Todd Harrell and Nashville Muzik Mafia songwriter Jon Nicholson found that writing songs together came easily for the duo. The two quickly formed a tight friendship and soon realized that they needed an outlet for their new music, thus 7 Day Binge was born. Although the band’s name has a somewhat hazy origin, unconfirmed rumors of events during a tour break in Amsterdam may hold the answer. When asked to explain, Harrell could only laugh and reply “We’re definitely a 4:20 band; we were like that the whole time. You know, it’s a little hazy in here right now.” Joining Harrell and Nicholson in this talented lineup are Kenny Olson of Kid Rock’s band on guitar and drummer extraordinaire Shannon Boone.
Todd Harrell was nice enough to take a few minutes to talk with me about the band, the new CD and the importance of having fun.
