HUMMING HOUSE ADDS MORE DATES
WITH KACEY MUSGRAVES TO TOUR SCHEDULE
Band has other exciting tour plans, including Mountain Stage,
Americana Music Festival, and Live on the Green
After a successful run of dates opening for Kacey Musgraves in the spring, Rock Ridge Music’s Nashville quintet Humming House has just announced that they will be opening for Kacey Musgraves in a series of shows this August, September and October (see tour schedule below). The dates join a run of headlining shows, as well as planned performances for NPR’s Mountain Stage (August 30th), Live on the Green in Nashville (September 10th, with Rodrigo y Gabriela), and Americana Music Festival (September 17th). Humming House is touring to promote their third album, Revelries, which was released earlier in 2015 via the Rock Ridge Music label. With interwoven threads of folk, soul, bluegrass and more, Humming House’s acoustic instrumentation – presenting mandolin, fiddle, acoustic guitar, and bass in fresh roles – flips between rousing energy and nuanced presentation, topped off by stunning vocal harmonies.
The tour schedule is as follows, with more dates to be added and announced soon.

As complete as they are in the studio and on record, Humming House is fundamentally a live band. With scarcely a tube’s worth of amplification or electricity and a drum kit of percussion distributed among the band members, they emit force on stage and demand attention. Already this year, the band has shared stages with Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Nicki Bluhm, Parker Millsap, and The Lone Bellow. Earlier in 2015, the band played the Cayamo Cruise with the elite of Americana (including John Prine, Brandi Carlile, and Lyle Lovett). In the past, they’ve rocked rooms of all sizes and played Forecastle Festival, Bristol’s Rhythm & Roots Festival, and they opened the new Music City Roots hall in The Factory in 2014, sharing the bill with Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell. Huffington Post urged, “Put Humming House on your list of Must-See Acts of 2015,” and named them one of the “peak musical performers of 2014.” American Songwriter called their music “infectious and grin-inducing.” Roughstock dubbed Humming House “darned close to perfect.”
Humming House recently signed a management deal with Corey Wagner and Johnny Gradone of Suretone Entertainment, joining their current roster which includes Fleetwood Mac, ZZ Top, Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Ben Miller Band and other up and coming bands Twin Limb and Apollo.
