In the face of this 21st century tumult, Humming House is on a quest. They do not want to wish away the pain and fear all too real in our lives, but to put those elements in conversation with the elements that sustain us: hope, partnership, even joy. Humming House is <a href="spotify:artist:2kxKYNPzruEZEDD7ccBrLi" data-name="Justin Wade Tam">Justin Wade Tam</a>, Bobby Chase, Joshua Wolak of <a href="spotify:artist:5eBWRdzQWImja0jRVSBxFL" data-name="Genuine Joy">Genuine Joy</a>, and Benjamin Jones. In 2011, the band formed out of East Nashville living room jam sessions—evidence that some of the best projects come from spontaneous collaboration and then seeing it through. Now, three albums and six years later, Humming House embodies what is best about the Nashville each transplant chooses to call home.

The essential traits of Humming House are evident in Companion, their latest release. The story of the album mirrors the story of the band: it’s one of collaboration, experimentation, and showing up for each other over and again. There are songs of hope and of desperation so that the prevailing mood is one of exchange and balance. The album explores movement, movement that comes easily to the body as well as movement driven by the unease we daily brush up against. What is most powerful about Humming House is their ability to be present with you to take those moments in life that seem mundane and shift the lens so that they are rendered extraordinary. The songwriting is honest and attends to the complex interactions that shape us. What choice do we have but to respond? Theirs is a music that places us.
