Americana mix of experimental folk-rock, upbeat pop, a hint of progressive music and Brill Building songwriting is the defining essence of the Humphrey-McKeown sound. Rising above the intricate musical arrangements are his/her combined lead vocals that are perfectly matched to breathe magic into quiet acoustic ballads, playful pop and edgy “swampgrass” rock. The Humphrey-McKeown partnership began in 2006 between New York native, Heather Humphrey and Chicago-based, Tom McKeown. Before long, they were writing for publishers in Nashville,
Chicago and LA. Combining Heather’s innate sense of melody with Tom’s
pursuit of something new and unexpected. After penning over 100 songs
for others, Humphrey-McKeown turned their focus on writing for their own musical voice. Now with 4 studio albums, their latest release “All I Wanted to Hear” weaves together intricate layers of acoustic guitar, mandolin, piano, fiddle and bass and then drops a ten-ton drum kit on top of it. Folk-Rock… with a huge beat and brilliant musicianship. Backed by a full band, Humphrey-McKeown has toured internationally to build their ever growing fanbase.
