Humbird w/Pit Stop at Icehouse
Combining a wintry longing with the warmth of a familiar folktale, Humbird stretches between experimental folk and environmental Americana to embrace the unexpected. Revolving around Siri Undlin’s songwriting and storytelling, Humbird began as a solo moniker before evolving into an award-winning, rotating cast of musicians and collaborators that now often include woodwinds, upright bass, synthesizer, and drums. The alt-folk music project is currently based in Minneapolis, MN, and will probably resonate with fans of Patti Smith, Sheryl Crow, and Big Thief. Humbird has already garnered over 20 million online streams and accolades from trusted tastemakers like Folk Alley, SXSW, 89.3 The Current, Kerrville Folk Fest, and more.
Pit Stop, a band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, plays original tunes combining elements of Americana, Blues, Country, Folk, Rock, and a dash of Doo-wop. Experienced musicians and longtime contributors to the Twin Cities music scene, Pit Stop is Jake Balistrieri (vocals, guitar), James Patrick Horigan (guitar), Sarah Mevissen (vocals, guitar), Zack Warpinski (bass), and Gage Webster (drums).
Inspired by the sound and songwriting of Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris, Townes Van Zandt, Connie Francis, Canned Heat, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and The Velvet Underground, Pit Stop has a familiar yet singular sound. With captivating harmonies, lyrics balancing humor and heartache, a locked ‘n’ loaded rhythm section, and guitar solos that rip, Pit Stop guarantees a dynamic and entertaining live performance.
