North Carolina native, Greg Humphreys, cut his teeth as frontman and songwriterfor the indie-rock roots outfit, Dillon Fence, before moving on to the soul/funkinspired tones of Hobex , releasing LPs for Atlantic and London Records and playing thousands of shows throughout the United States, Canada and Europe in the ‘90s and ‘00s. Relocating to New York in 2012, following a string of solo releases, he formed the Greg Humphreys Electric Trio along with bassist/composer Matt Brandau and drummer/producer Keith Robinson. With songs influenced by the best in pop, funk, soul, R&B, and rock n’ roll, you might find this power trio in the same idiosyncratic corner of the big Americana tent where you’d find Alabama Shakes, Chris Stapleton, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, or the North Mississippi Allstars.
As further proof of his immaculate soul credentials, Legendary Stax songwriter and singer William Bell recently recorded a song co-written with Humphreys for the Produced By Matt Ross-Spang series released by Amazon Prime in 2018. Simply put, Greg Humphreys is a songwriter at the very top of his game who oozes soul from his every pore
