Humbird

It feels good to be right. We crave the satisfaction, the ease. But what about when you’re not so sure? When you’re unsteady, angry, swayable, and doing your damned best anyway?

There’s something refreshingly humane about that uncertainty; about having the guts to try, even if you might be wrong. This is the central tenant of Humbird’s third full-length album, “Right On”, a radical ethos in this soapbox age, and an effort worth turning up the amps for, resulting in the project’s most electric, playful, mettled record yet.

Atwood Magazine‘s Coco Rich previously described her album Right On as “folk and Americana music wrapped in a gentle rebellion.”

Songwriter Siri Undlin grew up steeped in church choirs and traditional Irish ensembles, eventually leading her to conduct extensive folklore and musical research around the world as a Watson Fellow. That work inspired years of DIY touring around North America, including performing around the twin cities one backyard at a time during the pandemic. Undlin continues to expand and experiment as a writer and bandleader in a way that is fluid with each season, and oddly suited for this particular moment.
