Nashville quintet Humming House is set to release a new album, Revelries, on March 24, 2015, via Nashville label Rock Ridge Music (with distribution via ADA). 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. American Songwriter called their music “infectious and grin-inducing.” Roughstock dubbed Humming House “darned close to perfect.” Huffington Post just named the band one of the “peak musical performers of 2014.” Says band founder Justin Wade Tam: “We’re thrilled to release a new set of musical narratives into the world. Revelries embodies our adventures on the road, our evolution as a band, our love of storytelling, and our insatiable desire to have a good time on stage and off.” Produced by Grammy winner Mitch Dane and mixed by Grammy winner Vance Powell (Jack White, Buddy Guy), Revelries is the third recording bearing the name Humming House. The title comes from a lyric in the tenth track on the album, “Carry On,” a feisty and ambitious song in which delicate charango plays counterpoint to a muted guitar. By the time we get there we’ve heard the striding opener “Run With Me,” the quick-stepping waltz “Fly On” and the smoldering, bluesy “Nuts, Bolts and Screws.” The album’s first single, “Great Divide,” is an ode to travel, motion, and new frontiers –a recurring theme that’s also touched on in the fiddle and accordion-driven “Hitch Hike” and the rocking “Freight Train.” A classic jazz ribbon of smoke drifts through the magic “I’m A Bird.” After “Carry On,” Revelries concludes on the drifting “Atlantic” – a throwback folk song that evokes old sea shanties.
