After The Gig with Jesse Humphrey

On today’s show I have the great Adam Podd.  Over the coarse of the pandemic Adam and his brother Matt have created arrangements as well as audio templates for people all over the world to benefit from online musical collaboration.  While doing this, they have created their own publishing company and their arrangements can be purchased through the world famous sheet music distributor J W pepper. ...

Welcome to another episode of after the gig! This week I have my friend Justin Muir.  Justin is based outside of Philly, and when he isn’t caring for his dogs and chickens, he is being a kick ass pro photographer.  I can honestly say that some of the best images I have ever seen have been captured by Justin.  His work creates a feeling or vibe and tells stories, which is what it’s all about.  He r...

Good morning people, and welcome to another episode of After the Gig.  On today’s show I have the lovely Annie Clements.  Annie is a bass player and vocalist based out of Nashville that plays and has played for some of the biggest acts in country music.  Annie currently plays for many people in many circumstances, but a couple to mention are Maren Morris, and her all female side project “Sidepiece...

Good morning!  And welcome back to the show.  It’s the first show of 2021 and it’s episode 70!  Today on the podcast it’s a pleasure to chat with my best bud Nick Matarese.  Nick heads up one of the hardware design teams at Google, that’s right… I said Google.  Kind of a big deal.   Nick knows A LOT about this stuff and it was super fun to demystify some of the gadgets that we use on a daily basis...

Happy Thursday everyone.  It’s a beautiful crisp day here in DC, but up in the northeast… It is a complete shitshow!  Glad to be here getting ready for my shows at the Birchmere in Alexandria tonight and tomorrow, but boy was that a tough drive yesterday.  Today on the episode I tell a couple of stories of tough gig commutes and talk a little bit about some things that are coming up! Stay safe out...

Good Evening.  I’m not sure what is scarier… Getting your appendix removed, or the fact that you don’t need an eye exam to get your license renewed at AAA during the pandemic.  Thanks for hanging in there without me while I was indisposed.  I hope you enjoy hearing about my appendectomy… If you’re not into that kind of thing, then I’ll see ya next week ; )   Please get a ticket to Carbon Leaf’s up...

On todays show, I sit down and answer some of your questions.  We get into what a “rider” is, and where the word came from,  playing private house shows in a Covid world, and a bunch of other stuff.  Kind of a rant-y podcast but I dig it.  Hope you do too!   Support the podcast!   The Merch store is live!!  Go to jessehumphrey.com and click the merch button on the homepage!   www.patreon.com/after...

Heeeeeeey there.  Welcome back.  I missed you.  Did you miss me?  Today on the podcast, it’s everybody’s favorite guest… mister Jon Markel.  We plugged in the mics on the way up to DC and chatted about winning the lottery (we wish), unoriginal ideas, and other things.  Thank you for hanging out with us and if you were at the shows last weekend, thank you so much for your incredible support.  Big a...

Today on the podcast I have my friend and very special guest, Adam Ezra.  Adam has been writing music and touring all around this country as a solo artist and with his band, the Adam Ezra Group for years.  You won’t come across a more genuine or kind person, and you can see Adam during one (or all) of  his nightly livestream gatherings on Facebook.  I had a great time doing this podcast, and I hop...

Today on the show is my friend Hailey Steele.  I met Hailey while I was playing with Stephen Kellogg, and she was such a force on stage, and a pleasure to hang out with off stage.  She has a new single out featured at the end of this episode that I absolutely love.  The song “All I Wanted” is produced by Bryan Dawley who was also featured on this podcast.  Bottom line, great people and great music...

On today’s episode I have my friend Adam Jackson.  Adam is a musician, recording engineer, live sound engineer, and an all around great guy.  He has been on the road with acts like Owl City, St. Vincent, Sia, and countless others.  Adam and I get in to a bunch of different topics in this one, and it was truly a pleasure to catch up.  Enjoy the episode    Join me Wednesday night at 8 PM ET for the...

Ohhhh snap, new podcast with Jon Markel coming in hot! I was recently in Richmond playing a drive in show and helping to fulfill kickstarter orders.  The night before I headed home, Jon and I sat down at the dinner table for some bacon and a podcast.  We get real deep about the state of the industry and the state of Carbon Leaf in the current Covid climate and Jon finishes it off with another clas...

Today on the podcast I have the lead singer of Carbon Leaf (my bandmate) Barry Privett.  We talk about the bands Kickstarter campaign, songwriting, and much more.  There are only a couple of days left in the Kickstarter campaign, so check out the offers, and help us make a strong push to the end.     This episode also features a song off the new Gathering 2 album, which is one of the rewards featu...

Here we go! It’s the second and last part of my conversation with Rob Griffith.  In this episode we talk publishing, tv placements, practice (we talkin’ bout’ practice), and that time I almost quit music.  If you haven’t heard of Rob’s band Bronze Radio Return, you NEED to check them out ASAP!  Check out their latest release “Still Wondering” out everywhere! Enjoy the episode.   The Kickstarter fo...

Today on the podcast I have the drummer for the national touring act Bronze Radio Return, Rob Griffith.  Rob and I have been friends ever since we went on tour together in 2010.  Bronze was nice enough to let Dan Mills open for them and follow them around the north east region, and I can say that touring and playing music with those guys is an experience that I will cherish and remember forever.  ...

Today on the show is my bud and bandmate Mr. Terry Clark.  Terry is a cool under pressure, and if you aren’t sure what’s happening on stage, he’s always there to give you a big smile and a huge thumbs up!  He’ll also make sure your cymbals a spinning properly.  We get into a bunch of topics including, but not limited to kids, computers, recording, the road, and a bunch of other stuff.  Enjoy the e...

Today on the show I have my friend Kristin Hutchinson.  Kristin is a comedian, public speaker, and aspiring author.   I randomly met  Kristin at the Gaff in Watertown, Ma while she was working there as a bartender.  Kristin’s positivity and infectious energy is something that we all need right now, and I hope you enjoy this conversation.  Please note that this was recorded in 2019 while I was stil...

Today on the show, I share a couple of excerpts from one of my collage textbooks.  The book is called “Black Notes” and it was written by my African Studies professor, William Banfield.  This book discusses the evolution of black music in America.  I feel like it’s important for a music podcast like mine, to educate people on the history and important impact black music has had throughout American...

Ohhhhhh here we go again.  (fair warning, this was recorded yesterday, so my live stream is actually tonight!) Another week, and the calendar is still empty! Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day as the weather was incredible.  On todays episode I get into a whole bunch of topics.  More quarantine stuff, Live Streams, Carbon Leaf Kickstarter, your emails, and much more! Thank you for tuning in ever...

Hey folks! On this episode of After the Gig, I read and comment on Dave Grohl’s article in The Atlantic.  I also express my frustration with the pandemic and maybe not being able to play a show for the foreseeable future.  Pretty weird, wild times we’re living in right now.     Please join me on facebook.com/jessehumphrey this Thursday night at 8 pm EST for the “Over the Hump” live stream   Suppor...

On this episode of After the Gig I continue my conversation with Gavin Castleton.  We get into the inception of his former band Gruvis Malt, the living room in Providence,and a BUNCH of other stuff.  You will notice that the episode ends abruptly… That’s because it ends where part one begins.  Pretty sneaky, right? Anyway.  This was truly a pleasure to record and I hope you enjoy this weeks episod...

Gavin Castleton - “It would be tight if my next record was all sex raps”   This week on the podcast is one of my all time favorite artists, Gavin Castleton.  We were able to sit down at my place in Providence around the time of the Monty Are I reunion show to discuss his history as an artist from RI.  He is truly an original and it is inspiring to listen to him speak of songwriting on such an inte...

Today on the show I am joined by Evan Sanders via Zoom.  This is Evans second visit to the show and we talk about many things including but not limited to COVID-19, computer viruses, and people watching.  As you know… there are no gigs.  So After the Gig is adapting with the rest of the world.  But all you need to know is that I’m here for you and I’m going to continue to blab away until the inter...

Today on the show I have songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist as well as the musical director and touring guitarist for Thirty Seconds To Mars, Stevie Aiello.  We are also joined by the great Dan Mills.  Stevie, Dan, and I all grew up in Cranston, RI.  We all went to Cranston High School West, and I am convinced that Cranston has magical music powers.  Either way, It was a pleasure talking...
