Performed 12/29/19
Everybody has heard of Steve Earle, Delbert McClinton, Bob Dylan, Patty Loveless, Reba McEntire, John Anderson, Mary Chapin Carpenter, the Nighthawks and Garth Brooks, what a lot of people don't know is that there is a common thread between all of these artists. Every one of these acts have had at least one Good Humor Band member on their records or in their touring band. Back in the 70s and early 80s the Richmond based Good Humor Band was one of the busiest, and most popular bar bands in the mid Atlantic region. Cutting their teeth on roots Rock 'n Roll, Country, Blues, R&B, Swing and just about anything cool, they built a reputation for solid musicianship and an encyclopedic, unpredictable selection of songs, and witty behavior on and off stage. Sadly ( we thought at the time) they went their separate ways in 1983. Funny thing, by 1986 most of them had landed in Nashville, quickly securing gigs with some of the biggest and hippest acts in the music business. They have made a bit of an impact on Music City, as they have gone on to tour and record with literally hundreds of artists. Several of the band members went on to record their own critically acclaimed solo records as well.
