Performing a Moeller Nights concert a mere 11 days after the release of the band's fourth album Companion, the musicians of Humming House will showcase the roots-rock and bluegrass talents that led BestNewBands.com to praise the group's “beautifully honest” vocals and instrumentation delivered with “a bold approach and brazen feeling.”
Based in Nashville and composed of vocalist Justin Wade Tam, fiddler Bobby Chase, mandolin player Joshua Wolak, and bass player Benjamin Jones, Humming House originated, earlier this decade, through living-room jam sessions that eventually inspired the group's self-titled 2012 album debut. While gaining ever-greater awareness in Nashville through their Americana, folk, and roots concerts, the band released in live album Humming House Party! in 2014, and followed it the next year with the musicians' Revelries, which received significant national attention.
Writing for NoDepression.com, Dustin Ogdin stated, “Humming House exudes restraint and a wily intelligence,” while PopShifter.com's Tyler Hodg raved, “Revelries has a warm and inviting quality that gives it replay value one million times over.” Humming House's new album Companion, meanwhile, has already been the beneficiary of equally stellar reviews, with Billboard applauding the “infectious ebullience” of its lead single “Takin' Over,” and Glide magazine insisting, “Over years of touring, the group has managed to craft a sound that is incredibly tight but also unbelievably catchy.”
Humming House's Triple Crown Whiskey Bar & Raccoon Motel concert features an opening set by Becca Mancari, tickets are $15, and more information on the night is available by visiting MoellerNights.com.
