[ATTENDED: March 12, 2022] Holly Humberstone
I thought there was some excitement that Holly Humberstone was opening for Girl in Red, but it turned out that T. had never heard of her.
Well, I was impressed by her. She played guitar, keyboard, piano and created live beats on the drum machine while singing. And her voice was really lovely too.
Her songs are on the pop side but with some good loud guitars from time to time. “Please Don’t Leave Just Yet” was the synthy song (that featured sped up samples of her voice trilling in the background. I enjoyed the way she jumped from the synth rack to the piano mid-song.
Humberstone has a couple of EPs out. And I had to laugh when she said she was going to play the first song she’d ever released–way back in 2019. But it was a sweet song she’d written for her sister called “Deep End.”
She also played a new song called “London is Lonely,” which was far more plaintive than the other songs and showed Holly’s range.
The rest of the songs had nice rocking choruses and I was really quite surprised by how many people knew the words and were singing along. Especially to her closing song “The Walls Are Way too Thin” which was super catchy.
I was impressed by her and I think her star is on the rise.
