Humbles County
Humbles County is an indie folk band from Youngstown, Ohio. With a blend of lyrical storytelling from Danny McMaster and atmospheric dream-like guitar playing from Quinn Colella, Humbles County creates a space of nostalgia, calmness and heartfelt release. A friend once said, “Humbles County is doggedly honest and makes you want to sit at a pond and talk to a crane.”
