Who the heck are The Humbuddies?

In brother-harmony style, this father-son duo will sing you through the evolution of acoustic music. Their music spans across all of their favourite genres: Classic Country, Bluegrass, Swing and contemporary Folk. They’ll have you tapping your toes, wiping your tears, and singing along.

The old man of the band, Bill (aka Pops—or should we now say Gramps), grew up awash in music, whether singing along with Grandma by the piano or playing trumpet duets with his father Howard. The journey flowed along through a mix of the choirs, bands and musicals before eventually cascading into the world of harmony driven bluegrass some twenty years ago.

Pops couldn’t be any more delighted or proud to share the love of music with his son Nico. From his early days on fiddle, to bass, vocals and mandolin, Nico has developed into an accomplished touring musician hitting the road internationally with musicians such as Jeff Scroggins, Greg Blake, Jesse Brock and Chris Luquette to name a few. He is currently a member of the Pan-Canadian Bluegrass group Happy Trails, Prospector.

The duo’s tight harmonies have been heard at festivals across Western Canada in their previous five piece Bluegrass band Nomad Jones, alongside Miles Zurawell, Craig Korth and Byron Myhre.
