Electric Trio southern swing starts this weekend!


The big southern swing of our Electric Trio Lucky Guy Fall Tour starts this weekend. Seven shows in seven days! We've added some dates and more great press is coming in... check out the two-part series at Your Older Brother. Part 2 is a long interview, one of the more in-depth pieces to date on my music and career. Thank you, Sam. Also, High Country Press has a great preview for The Carolina Ramble & Reunion.

Fall Tour starts! Cola SC 9/17, Bklyn NY 9/23


Lucky Guy fall tour dates on deck for Greg Humphreys Electric Trio! The Elbow Room Reunion at the Music Farm in Columbia SC is coming up on 9/17. Don't miss this special gathering to celebrate one of our fave venues from the 90s. There is a fantastic line up of bands and our trio set is scheduled for 10 PM. Buy advance tickets here - proceeds from the concert will benefit music programs and Girls Rock SC.

Also coming up is our set at Brooklyn Americana Music Festival on 9/23. We will be performing under the Archway in Dumbo at 9 PM. Amazing talent throughout venues in Brooklyn – admission is free, but you can contribute to the cause at the festival's Kickstarter page here.

Heading down south in October... first up is the Second annual Carolina Ramble and Reunion near Boone in Bethel NC on 10/1. Check out the line-up and buy advance tickets here!

Rest of the run: we're doing a two-night stand in Charleston SC at The Commodore on 10/2 and 3. This historic stop on the R&B circuit hosted Marvin Gaye and James Brown, among others. We'll be playing our first show in Athens GA on 10/4, on the roof of the Georgia Theater. We return to Charlotte NC on 10/6 for a special double bill with Occasional Milkshake (Mark Bryan, Hank Futch, Gary Greene) at the Visulite Theater.

BE LOUD 16 
Our Hobex set at the Cradle for Be Loud 16 was so much fun! Thanks to my Hobex brothers Andy Ware and Rob Ladd for bringing it. Singing with Preeesh again was also a real treat. $46,000+ was raised over the weekend for the Be Loud Sophie foundation. For you Hobex junkies, here's a clip from our set:

More soon,
Greg
