Humbird & Friends present
'Backyard Fairytales' live at Pablo's Gibson Street Entry Space
This November, Humbird and a select group of local musicians and improvisers will resurrect "Backyard Fairytales", an ad hoc series that combines the performance of ancient folklore with colorful soundscapes and improvised melodies. Explored with cultural respect and dark whimsy, these stories will offer wisdom, connection, and magic for hard times, and can help us to imagine who we want to be in a world we get to create. It is an all-ages approach, while embracing uncertainty and mysteries that move in the dark.
Humbird & friends began doing these performances in 2020, in over 100 backyards, gardens, barns, campfires, and eventually even a planetarium. The performances feature stripped-down versions of Humbird's original songs, bookending a seasonal tale where whims and adventure unfold. While these shows will be very different from Humbird's touring act, it is all part of the same endeavor: to use music and stories as star maps to move through the unknown beauty and hardships of our lives. Tickets on sale now for Nov. 7th, 14th, and 21st.
