After The Gig with Jesse Humphrey

Just because you’re stuck at home, it doesn’t mean its ok to wear pajamas for a month!  On this weeks episode, my wife Genevieve and I sit down to discuss our experience in quarantine.  What is it like to  be on the verge of giving birth during a pandemic? You’re about to find out.  What are the positives of this lockdown? Surprisingly, there is a bunch!  Hope you are all finding your way though t...

Jon is Back, but it’s somber times.  Our last 3 shows of the “Brothers In Arms” tour have been canceled, and this was recorded in the white whale on its trip back to Virginia 3 days early.  While you’re in quarantine, please enjoy this hang with my bestie Jon Markel.     Tune into Instagram Live tomorrow night @jhumphreymusic, Thursday March 19th at 8:00pm EST for a little concert from yours truly...

Today on the podcast I sit down with booking agent Jordan Burger.  Jordan is Carbon Leaf’s booking agent and I had been really excited to talk with him and pick his brain a bit.  Throughout this conversation he reveals some of the “secrets” of booking bands, and the things that bands/artists need to do to take it to the next level.  It was truly a please to have him on the show and I hope you enjo...

In this episode I sit down with my friend Don Miggs.  Don is a musician, author, songwriter, and much more.  Formerly of the band Miggs, he now fronts the band “Whole Damn Mess”, who has performed with Cheep Trick, ZZ Top, and a bunch of others.  He is a guy that has it all, and wants to share it with you.  We cover a slew of topics, with a couple guest appearances by Carter Gravit and Jon Markel....

Well well well, if it isn’t Dean, the kid from Youngstown himself.  This episode was a long time in the making, but we finally sat down in the confines of stateroom 5556 on the Rock Boat to make it happen.  Dean brings originality, quality, fun, and a pinch of that guy from the local flee market to his playing and personality.  If he’s not on the road with Red Wanting Blue, he’s cruising the local...

I’m back! Sorry for the delay, but I’ve been getting used to real life again.  It’s hard when there isn’t a buffet, non-stop live music, casino, beautiful weather, and a soft-serve ice cream machine available to you 24 hours a day.  And I know that now.  This episode is a short and sweet one to get back into the swing of things.  I answer some email and Patreon questions, and provide an overall ru...

Jessica is a managers manager.  You know how I know that… I don’t, but if I did it would have sounded super cool.  Jess (as I affectionately call her), has been Stephen Kellogg’s manager for many years and has recently taken on a new client in Brian Dunne.  In my experience with working with Jess over the last few years, I have enjoyed her personal and professional approach to meeting my needs and...

Brian Dunne is a fantastic singing songwriter that I met while playing with Stephen Kellogg.  It turns out, we actually went to college together as well! I have been a fan of Brian’s music for a long time and getting to sit down with him before his gig in Newport was truly a pleasure.  Brian has a new album coming out on April 10th called “Selling Things” and he was kind enough to play a song off...

Good evening people of After the Gig.  This is a special episode because it features my favorite co-host, the one and only Jon Markel.   This week Jon and I sit down for some late night reflecting and question answering.  We get into many topics including but not limited to trucker bathrooms, and the 4 great shows at Rams Head last weekend.  Please enjoy!   In addition to this weeks episode, there...

Vlade is a drummer from the Dominican Republic that now resides in Boston Ma.  Through Vlade’s massive social media following he has allowed thousands of followers to be inspired and educated by his mastery and approach to the instrument.  This conversation spans MANY topics and was truly a great time.  Please enjoy the episode!   Check out the Patreon for a special offer available until December...

This week on the podcast I am joined by the great Eric Hutchinson.  Eric and I met back in 2016 when I saw him open for Rachel Platten with his great band The Believers.  Later that year, Eric did a co-bill with Stephen Kellogg in the UK, and a couple months after that, I filled in for his drummer on a few shows in the midwest. Yes… I was a Believer for a week, and it was glorious.  Eric’s music i...

Today on the podcast I sit down with the other half of Native Run, Rachel Beauregard.  Rachel was nice enough to make some time to talk with me in her hotel room before she headed out to soundcheck for her show with Hozier at the wang theater in Boston.  Did I mention that she is currently singing background vocals for Hozier? No? Ok then.  We get  into a TON of topics and I excited for you to lis...

Today on the show I am joined by singer/songwriter/educator Mary Scholz.  She calls LA home these days, but she is an east coaster at heart.  Mary was nice enough to carve out some time before my show in LA to discuss music, being a die hard sports face, teaching, and much more.  There were a few special appearances by the LAPD air division as well.  Please enjoy this weeks episode!   Support the...

Joe Bentley is a bassist out of Rhode Island, but that doesn’t really tell the whole story, obviously.  When I met Joe in high school, he was a somewhat awkward guy that played football but could also play the s**t out of a bass guitar.  Somewhere along the line he found a passion for classical music, and since then he has dedicated himself to excellence as a musician and educator.  Please Enjoy t...

Chris Babbit is a producer and artist based in the Boston area, and from this episode alone you could probably get away with calling him a conspiracy theorist.  I have known Chris for a long time while working in the bars of Boston, and after all those years he still remains one of my favorite people.  Here is part one with Chris Babbit.     Support the podcast! www.patreon.com/afterthegig   Email...
