“Ranks alongside the likes of Ryan Adams
as one of the finest contemporary country-rock front men.” – R2 Magazine (UK)
While Dan Hubbard’s
just-released album is a solo singer-songwriter effort, over the past decade he
had built a devoted following in the Midwest as the leader of a rock band. But
following 2011’s The Love Show with his group, The Humadors, Hubbard
felt the urge to change things up. And 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 loyal fan base. The risk has paid off, however,
and Hubbard’s new album is all the
proof that’s needed. Where the Humadors
rocked and rocked 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.
The record came about when, armed with a batch of some
of the best songs he’d written in his life, Hubbard headed to Nashville to work with producer Ken Coomer, a co-founder of Uncle Tupelo and 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 was a little
nervous about becoming a ‘solo artist,’” Hubbard
says. “It was a little like starting over, but all of these great experiences
helped me feel that I’d made the right decision. I know it’s the best thing I’ve
done.”
Hubbard is currently on tour supporting the new album, with a
second leg in the planning stages that will take him through the rest of 2016. See
below for current dates. Dan Hubbard’s
self-titled solo album is out now. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
