Driveway Thriftdwellers are a rock/Americana five-piece the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has called a "must see live" act. While the Thriftdwellers have earned country-themed awards, like WAMI Country Artist of the Year in 2017, Madison Area Music Association (MAMA) Country Album of the Year in 2019 and MAMA Country Performer of the Year in 2020, Isthmus has called their sound "country music for people who might not like country music." Known for both tight chops and loose improvisations, the Milwaukee/Madison act consider themselves genre-benders, serenely existing in the weird spaces that exist between country, rock and pop. The Thriftdwellers have released two critically acclaimed full length studio albums with a third, High Top Van, arriving in November 2025.
Joseph Huber hails from the state of Wisconsin and seems to bring forth the varied voices of whatever it may be that lies dormant within either the fertile soil or the callous concrete of that world. It has been said, "You don’t just like Joseph Huber’s music. You feel it’s something that the rest of the world needs to hear, and how criminal it is that it isn’t spreading far and wide." That sentiment could be related to the fact that the voices which Huber unearths are subtle and take more than a hurried listen to truly absorb. A person who appears reserved and matter-of-fact in everyday speech brings forth songs that are anything but that.
As the singer, songwriter, performer, recorder and producer of all of his own material, Huber has his hands full but never seems to miss a beat. And his own solo material has now certainly surpassed the output of his past efforts, both in volume and substance. As one of the founding member of the .357 String Band--a group that would probably fit better in today's “Americana-saturated” environment than in the early to middle aughts--he's gradually honed a sound that seems to fill a very real gap within the still-emerging genre. Having progressed, Huber continues moving onward and upward captivating folks with his sincere and well-crafted songs under his own name along with the impeccable musicianship of his fellow touring partners. Whether it's irresistible, fiddle-driven, dancing tunes or honest, heart-wrenching "songwriter" songs, Huber's songs and shows spans the spectrum of Roots music while preferring not to stay within the boundaries of any strict genre classification.
