About
Biography
Humble Tripe came to form as the music project of Shawn Luby. Luby, a runaway from the competitive classical guitar word, took to the streets picking up any strung stick he could find on his voyage to make new noise! The journey got some juice when Luby joined up with drummer Melissa York, self taught pop-punk drummer extraordinaire (Team Dresch, Butchies, ex-Members), and string player supreme, Stud Green. The result was a a classical/folk/american/punk/pop trifecta meant to entice and lure in the next round of Humble Tripers. Eventually, the threesome coerced ex-Texas first chair trupeteer Kadji Amin to master the harmonica and pick up more horns, all the while convincing modern dancer turned bell-whacking-symbol-crashing thumb harpist Jess Shell to give up a life of country livin’ and take to the road.
The result is a magical journey into the human heart. Led by Luby’s sweet vocal yearnings, Humble Tripe calls out to the kid in all of us, pulling at our hearts with a raw openness, and refusing to shy away from the vastness of human experience.
