Movie Maven Tracy Mumford stopped by this morning to talk about the new movie 'The Kitchen'. The film includes a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" by supergroup The Highwomen, which features Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what supergroups do you want to hear?

And for those not in the know, a supergroup is a band comprised of people that are in other bands, famous for solo careers, or somehow prominent in another way in the music scene.
