Matt Talbott (Lead singer from 90’s rock group HUM) at Folklore in Napa

We are THRILLED To have helped set up this fantastic “house” show with Hum front-man Matt Talbott at Folklore! Originally scheduled to happen at Napa Valley Distillery, the show was moved after a fire at the Napa Valley Distillery warehouse/events space. Thank you to Faith at Folklore for picking up this fantastic, lowkey intimate showcase! If you don’t recognize the name Matt Talbott or HUM, if you’re of a certain vintage… chances are you heard their single “STARS” playing often on your local alternative rock radio station in the 90’s! You know the song… “She thinks she missed the train to mars… She’s out back counting stars!”
