“Ranks alongside the likes of Ryan Adams
as one of the finest contemporary country-rock front men.” –R2 Magazine (UK)
Bloomington, Illinois-based songwriter Dan Hubbard has been cultivating a
Midwestern rock n’ roll sound for over a decade. Until now.
Starting with his first album under the name The Hubbards in 2003, through to 2011’s
The
Love Show with his band, The
Humadors, Hubbard never felt the
urge to change things up, but when he did, he had to make some big choices.
“Everyone had their reasons for wanting to end the
band, but changing my sound, which was something I never cared about before,
was my reason,” Hubbard says. It was
a precarious move for an artist who had already built a small, but devoted fan
base. The risk paid off.
Hubbard’s upcoming, naturally self-titled, solo album (out Feb. 5th) is all the proof
that’s needed. Where the Humadors
rocked, and rocked very well, Hubbard’s
new songs, and his performance of them, sound less rave-up and more settled in
– real, relatable, roots-driven music that sticks.
Armed with a batch of some of the best songs he’d
written in his life, Hubbard recently
headed to Nashville to work with producer Ken
Coomer, a co-founder of Wilco
and a three-time Grammy nominee.
“Ken played
drums on Wilco’s Being
There and Summerteeth albums – two of my favorite records of all time,” Hubbard exclaims of this
dream-come-true scenario. Coomer
brought in a who’s who of local talent to round out Hubbard’s studio band, including Dave Roe (long-time bassist with Johnny Cash), Adam
Ollendorff (guitarist with Kacey
Musgraves), and Tyson Rogers
(pianist with Don Williams). Of
course, Coomer himself joined in
behind the drums.
“I know it’s the best thing I’ve done,” Hubbard says of the album. “I hope a
lot of people enjoy it.”
Dan Hubbard’s self-titled new album arrives on February 5th, 2016 with a
tour launching that same day. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
