Greg Humphreys & Friends continues Humphreys’s first-Wednesday-of-the-month residency at 11th St Bar. The bandleader, guitarist, songwriter and singer leads a rotating Friends bill drawn from some of New York City’s finest musicians, bringing his own songs and a collaborative band format to the East Village room. It is a regular stop built around Humphreys at the front and fellow players joining him for the night.
Humphreys has spent 30 years touring the United States, Canada and Europe. A North Carolina bandleader before becoming a New York City-based performer, he fronted Dillon Fence and Hobex, then led his Electric Trio in NYC. His songwriting has also reached film and television: his songs appear in Netflix’s OBX and the 1990s film Rounders. He has released albums through Atlantic Records and London Records, alongside music issued on his own Phrex Records imprint. This residency draws on that long-running songbook and his experience leading bands on both sides of the Atlantic.
A basement club in the East Village, 11th St Bar is a steady fixture for live music, hosting regular house band sets and long-running residencies. The room is a modest space where the audience sits on wooden benches, close enough to hear every note from the front row. Shows typically run from 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM, with multiple sets and a relaxed, conversational atmosphere. The bar is present, offering drinks to accompany the music, and the evening is a night out where people listen, talk, and share in the energy of the performers. It's a place where local musicians play with authenticity and warmth, and the audience is there to experience the music, not just watch it.
