Humble Hobos

About Me


'Music that's slept in the streets and reeks of whisky!'
The Humble Hobos are a 4 piece Country/Americana band from Perth. They have been known to sound like ‘Johnny Cash on Speed’ but they like to describe their music as ‘Whisky Fuelled Country’ because that’s what it is. There music talks of travelling away from home, women, personal experiences, good and bad.
The two vocal elements in the band with raspy and clean come from both Country (Aaron) and Folk (Chris) influences. Acoustic driven and the Funky Cowboy on Bass and similarly influenced Drum section have tight chemistry which keeps the Hobos together musically and as a band.
First released E.P. Where Are You Now is available for Digital Download from: iTunes, Amazon, eMusic etc … Released on Zine Records and Believe Digital Available to preview and purchase from:
