Illinois-based singer-songwriter Dan Hubbard has released six albums and toured extensively through the Midwest and both coasts. In the process, he’s built a strong fan base, become a refined songwriter and earned critical acclaim for his efforts. With its foundation in the classic sounds of Tom Petty, Van Morrison, Neil Young and Jackson Browne, Hubbard’s music incorporates folk, country, blues and even a little funk. With a dynamic and powerful voice, Hubbard carries songs of love, loss and soul searching (and occasionally getting drunk enough to forget it all). Like the influential front-men before him, Hubbard delivers a message that people can relate to in good times and bad.

In 2008, the Humadors joined Hubbard on the road. That fall, they released their acclaimed self-titled debut- a collection of songs showcasing graceful lyrics, vibrant melodies and innovative sound. Their 2010 release entitled See You Again received national airplay on over 120 radio stations, and climbed to #190 on the AMA charts. The band’s 2011 album The Love Show appeared on the Top 50 Roots Rock Chart and continues to receive national press and radio play. Dan Hubbard and The Humadors are currently touring the Midwest in support of The Love Show.

These are the songs that make you want to crank the volume and go for a drive. Just don’t set the iPod on repeat or you may never come back. – Twangville.com

If you’re planning a trip to the heartland, keep an eye out for one of their shows – they look to be awfully rejuvenating. – San Diego Entertainer

No hyphens or hype, invented categories or inverted genres, just a guy writing good songs with a fine band backing him up. -Illinois Times
