Trio NYC 12/6, Hobex GSO 12/15

GHET AT 11TH STREET BAR 12/6 Hi, friends. Hope you're ready for winter; I most assuredly am not. I do, however, have a couple of recently added December shows I'd like you to know about. First up, Keith Robinson, Matt Brandau and I will be back at 11th Street Bar on Wednesday, December 6th from 9 to 11 PM. This will be the last Greg Humphreys Electric Trio show of the year. Would love to see you there! Expect some Rockin' and Rollin' and Funkin' and Soulin' (and perhaps a holiday number or two) at one of the East Village's best bars.  HOBEX AT BLIND TIGER 12/15 On Friday, December 15 in Greensboro, NC, Hobex will play our only show of 2017 for The Blind Tiger's Holiday Celebration. Joining me will be longtime Hobex bassist Andy Ware, drummer Eddie Walker, and keyboardist David McCracken of Donna The Buffalo. Mark Kano and Mike Garrigan of Athenaeum open! Get your advance tickets here. Excited to play a set of Hobex music with Andy, Eddie, and David; nothwithstanding the attire suggested in the event poster, I will not be wearing a Santa suit. ;) GIFT OF GHET Speaking of Santa, if you're in search of a great gift this season, please consider our recent Electric Trio release Lucky Guy on Vinyl.

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who came out to see Greg Humphreys Electric Trio on our fall tourdates! Had some good turnouts, some wonderful musical guests (Gibb Droll in Raleigh, my sis Ann in Winston-Salem), and a nice preview in Yes! Weekly. I am really enjoying playing our new songs. Gregory Silva did a multi-camera shoot of our Muddy Creek Music Hall show in W-S... hope to share that with you soon. Matt Brandau, Keith Robinson and I are slowing down for the rest of the year, as far as Electric Trio live performances, but we'll be chipping away at trio LP No. 2. More on that soon. I've added one more fall show – I'll be down in Carrboro NC on Saturday, Nov 4 for Salt and Smoke V, a great annual fest held at Rock Quarry Farm and thrown by the folks at ACME. I'll be doing a special Greg Humphreys and Friends electric set with my pals Robert Sledge and Rob Ladd. You can get advance tickets here. DILLON FENCE AT DORTON ARENA Had a wonderful weekend in October playing with Kent Alphin, Chris Goode, and Scott Carle in Dorton Arena for our only DF set of the year. Thanks to all of you who braved the traffic gridlock and long lines to be with Dillon Fence and Preeesh. Apologies to those who were thwarted in their attempt to make it - the Fair was a complete madhouse that night! Thanks to those of you who tuned in to the broadcast. It's available for streaming here via UNC TV, if you missed it. Thanks to Deep South for having us at Homegrown Music Fest... hopefully we’ll have another DF show before too long.

A story... and NY, GA, VA, NC, TN dates

A few days ago, I was taking a sunset walk with my wife and son on the boardwalk of St-Jean-de-Luz, a beautiful beach town on the Atlantic Ocean in the Basque region of southern France. Someone said, “Excuse me!” A man approached and asked if I was from Dillon Fence. His name was Serge, a doctor from the east of France on holiday with his wife and kids. He told me that he had just been listening to our “Outside In” album, and that he considered us to be in the pantheon of the golden age of indie rock. He actually knew quite a bit about the band and was very kind. We took a couple of snaps, introduced our families, and said goodbye. I had just shared with my wife moments earlier that I was missing playing music. I was reminded yet again that some way, somehow, sometimes the music reaches people it was meant to reach. I’d love for our latest batch of Electric Trio tunes to reach you! Keith Robinson, Matt Brandau, and I have been arranging and recording ‘em over the course of the year. They’re shaping up to be a really interesting group of songs. We’ll be playing 'em at these upcoming shows… see you there. And thank you, Serge!

Brooklyn Bowl 6/18, new management

Hey there. Thank y'all for coming out to our shows in May! We had great turnouts and broke in a lot of new tunes. Doing some more arranging and recording with the trio this month... we've also added a show this coming Sunday 6/18 at Brooklyn Bowl. We're splitting the bill with The Trongone Band for their NYC album release show – doors at 6, we hit at 8 PM. Advance Tickets are $7, but dads get free admission for Father's Day.

Some exciting news: we'd like to welcome Jason Finestone on board as our band manager. Relatively new to artist management, he's been involved with the music business for a long time – he's worked on the label/venue side (Knitting Factory Entertainment) and the legal side (entertainment attorney at Shukat Arrow Hafer Weber & Herbsman, LLP.) He's also a musician and songwriter in his spare time. Jason has been very supportive of the trio over the last few years; he's helped us out in many ways already. We're very happy and honored to have him on our team in an official capacity. 
 
Some of my favorite shows are outdoors with all-ages admission, and we have some good ones coming up. We'll be in Sunset Park on September 7 as part of a new concert summer series called Sunset Sounds at Industry City. We're splitting the bill with our friends in the Jamie McLean Band; admission is free, details are here. We'll visit GA and NC for Decatur Blues & Bluegrass Festival on 8/12 and Live and Local Roots Fest in Raleigh NC on 9/23. Announcing more dates soon...
Love,
Greg

Electric Trio at Brooklyn Bowl 2/20

Happy New Year, friends. If you're like me, it's certainly easy to feel depressed when thinking about what might happen in the next four years with the current leadership in place. With a three year-old boy at home, I don't have that luxury. I owe it to him to be the best father, husband, musician and songwriter I can be. I will continue to speak out about what I believe to be important. THANK YOU to everyone out there who has been marching and making our collective voice heard. I've been writing up a storm these past few months and I'm looking forward to sharing new music with you in 2017. The trio is playing a few shows close to home this winter. Next up is a 9 PM set at Brooklyn Bowl on Monday, February 20. We're sharing the bill with The Michael Gannon Band and Baby Dynamite – admission is $7, doors are at 6 PM, and the show starts at 8 PM. Advance tickets here! Mark it on your calendar and share... Matt, Keith and I enjoy playing at this fantastic Williamsburg, Brooklyn venue and we'd love to see you there. Working on a couple of trips down south in the spring. More on that soon. If you use Bandsintown to keep track of artists' schedules, you can keep track of us here. I've been using it myself – it's a great way to track your faves. Here’s a video I made for "Lucky Guy,” the title track from our 2016 Electric Trio LP. It’s a snapshot travelogue from our honeymoon. Listen closely, consider the ephemerality of life, and enjoy the moment.
