Humble Tripe is the musical project of Shawn Luby, who at one point walked away from music altogether. A classically-trained guitarist, Luby left performing for nearly a decade and somehow this brought him to a place where he felt he could express himself as a songwriter. His songs are deeply heartfelt, perhaps especially so, as they come from someone who has, in essence, re-discovered himself. His current collaborator, the other half of the band, is Stud Green, another musician with serious chops, and as a result they create a kind of Americana whose sound does not fit neatly into any category.
