Singer/songwriter Humbird will be releasing her third full-length album, Right On, on April 12, 2024. It’s an album that promotes “endurance in the face of uncertainty. Having the guts to try, even if you might be wrong.” The album opener and title track, “Right On” has also been revealed.

Siri Undlin, the Minnesota-native behind Humbird, first introduced this new collection of songs with “Cornfields and Roadkill,” a nod to the American Midwest. She followed that with “Child of Violence,” a Psychedelic Folk-Rock exploration of the legacy and impact of white supremacy in middle America, and “Seven Veils,”an ode to the idea that dreams and fantasies can be realized.

Produced by Shane Leonard and featuring regular contributors Pat Keen (bass, synth, percussion) and Pete Quirsfeld (drums and percussion), Right On was tracked live to tape over the course of two weeks in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Siri Undlin grew up steeped in church choirs and traditional Irish ensembles, which eventually led to conducting folklore and musical research around the world as a Watson Fellow. That work inspired years of DIY touring around North America, including performing around the twin cities in backyards during the pandemic.

Humbird will join Indigo De Souza on her Spring tour before heading out for her own headline dates in May following the album’s release.
