Humbelievable

A debut album by The Humbuddies

Some things are just meant to be: they’re effortless; they aren’t work, they just work. We are very thankful that playing and singing together is like that for us. The pandemic certainly shut us down for a while and living apart separated by over a thousand kilometers—and a body of water—didn’t help, but we used this project to keep our music moving forward. We planned it out and managed to get together between waves (both pandemic and oceanic) to write and rehearse, and finally got ourselves into the studio in the spring of 2022 to record.

Influenced by a range of genres that have shaped our music, we present to you a collection of our favourite songs and a few Humbuddies originals inspired by what we love to do best: travel around and play music together.

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it!
