Humbletown w/ Abbey Leach at the Historic Homestake Opera House in Lead

Humbletown:
Formed in the humble prairie town of Vermillion, South Dakota, Humbletown has emerged as a powerful multi-genre bluegrass-inspired ensemble. Now based out of the Black Hills, the band is inspired by the quiet beauty of pine-filled forests, with original songs inspired by their home and travels, intricately performed on clawhammer banjo (Morgan Carnes), flatpick guitar (Dylan Lewis), mandolin (Evan Ogborn), and upright bass (James Schrag). With music that combines influences of bluegrass, old time, hot club swing, Americana, and classic country, Humbletown will take you on a musical journey that stretches across time and space.
Their 2022 debut album “The Path I Chose to Walk” received international acclaim. Americana UK’s review described the album: “The first impression on listening to these songs around virtuosos on clawhammer banjo and flat-picking guitar is that this entire collection must have been something discovered nearly a century ago by the great ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax.” Their album’s title track video “Vines” was premiered by Bluegrass Situation and Americana Highways described their album as “A little old-time country, folk & bluegrass. The musicianship is stellar, with fingerpicking on acoustic guitar & banjo. The mix of male & female vocals balances the material impressively.”
Humbletown has toured nationally and regionally and performed at many festivals. They have shared the stage with such acts as Wood Belly, Charlie Parr, Damn Tall Buildings, Songs from the Road Band, and many more.
Abbey Leach:
Abbey Leach is a singer-songwriter, recently relocated to Rapid City from Boise, ID. She values tradition and the classics, with a style inspired by greats of the past, such as Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Bob Dylan, but she isn’t afraid to put a modern spin on it. Her sets include a carefully curated list of covers, along with intimate originals, in which she tries to see herself and the world in a positive light.
Give their music a listen!
