Doing east coast tourdates this spring with a new electric trio. Joining me will be Matt Brandau on bass guitar, and Keith Robinson on drums. We’ll be doing songs from that new LP Mr. Brandau and I have been working on, along with tunes from my recent solo recordings and faves from the bands’ catalogs. Mark one down – we’d love to see you. Had a rousing inaugural set at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn this past Saturday. Thank you to everyone that came out.

PRESS

“On the whole, Humphreys couples his old school Americana with an affable attitude…Humphreys remains blissfully unencumbered, his blithe and breezy melodies sustaining a willowy caress throughout…Bohemia seems to live up to its title, given its nonchalant attitude and unassuming demeanor. It’s a sensual sound, a momentary retreat to a place in the pines.” Lee Zimmerman, BLURT

“People You May Know flows with seemingly effortless silkiness… early sides from Bill Withers and Joni Mitchell come to mind as Humphreys ushers us into his folds with a sure hand… There’s no doubting how personal these pieces are to their creator, but Humphreys has the rare gift of transmuting what he sees in the mirror into something the rest of us can hum along to.” Dennis Cook, Dirty Impound

“Humphreys’ contributions have been manifold. He’s invented and reinvented himself at least three times, going from the enlightened college rocker of Dillon Fence to the blue-eyed soul man of HOBEX to, most recently, a folk-leaning solo artist.” Chris Parker, INDYweek

Sleep Fleet Celebrates Release of New EP

So far the new year in Dayton has brought great music around town for us all to enjoy! This weekend is no exception!

On Saturday, February 1st, Sleep Fleet returns to Dayton after six months – a time far too long for music fans. The Sleep Fleeters are releasing their brand shiny and new EP, Hudson & High, at a show at Blind Bob’s in our fine city. The album courtesy of the fine folks at Brain Candy Records is available at the band’s bandcamp page and is not to be missed.

Sleep Fleet is joined by the dynamic new trio Brat Curse! Their new self-titled record is another great new release for 2014! These ex-Pharohs musicians play a pop-tinged punk that is a reminder of the excitement of the D-I-Y and post-punk movements before alternative became commercial!

Dayton’s own Dear Fawn will be playing their first set with their all new five-person line up! You can hear some of Dear Fawn’s fine songs from their terrific CD, I Played the Queen on the band’s Soundcloud page! This is another new band that promises to be another great addition to our music scene.
