Humble Grumble

Humble Grumble


Humble Grumble started off in 1996 with the folk and jazz musicians of Dearest Companion, a Belgian flip-folk group. The early music had more in common with folk-rock then jazz, but was always flavored with an eccentric touch of humor. The early work of Humble Grumble was mainly composed by Gabor Humble and Tom Theuns, who already played rather manic performances in the region of Ghent at the time. Years went by and the first line-up of Humble Grumble drifted off into different directions, leaving the band to explore new ways.

Recalling a golden era of European 70's prog with a touch of Primus, Ween and Eastern European folk, Humble Grumble is without question the most dynamic, musically diverse group to have sprung from Belgium in over a decade, putting on the shows of utmost versatility and unforced originality...

Humble Grumble transports you into a space where boredom would hold forth, instead leaving you with unforgettable memories of their performance. So, for those all in need of a good laugh or a blood-sparkling groove, and with improvised melodies to suit the event, Humble Grumble brings you a daring cocktail of musical styles sewn together within the unifying force of universal love.
