Joseph Huber hails from the state of Wisconsin, and seems to bring forth the varied voices of whatever it may be that lies dormant within either the fertile soil or the callous concrete of that world. It has been said, "You don’t just like Joseph Huber’s music. You feel it’s something that the rest of the world needs to hear, and how criminal it is that it isn’t spreading far and wide." That sentiment could be related to the fact that the voices which Huber unearths are subtle and take more than a hurried listen to truly absorb. A person who appears reserved and matter-of-fact in everyday speech brings forth songs that are anything but that.
As the singer, songwriter, performer, recorder and producer of all of his own material, Huber has his hands full, but never seems to miss a beat. And his own 'solo' material has now certainly surpassed the output of his past efforts, both in volume and substance. As one of the founding member of the .357 String Band--a group that would probably fit better in today's 'Americana-saturated' environment than in the early to middle aughts--he's gradually honed a sound that seems to fill a very real gap within the still-emerging genre. Having progressed, Huber continues moving onward and upward captivating folks with his sincere and well-crafted songs under his own name along with the impeccable musicianship of his fellow touring partners. Whether it's irresistible, fiddle-driven, dancing tunes or honest, heart-wrenching "songwriter" songs, Huber's songs and shows spans the spectrum of 'Roots' music while preferring not to stay within the boundaries of any strict genre classification.
His lyricism and introspective writing style has received high acclaim from music enthusiasts looking for a more substantive substitute to much of today's music. Maintaining a solid touring schedule, playing all throughout both the U.S. and all around Europe, Huber continues to gain positive press, including being listed on L.A. Weekly's '10 More Country Artists To Listen To.' Blue Ridge Outdoor writes, “Songwriters like Townes Van Zandt, Chris Smither, and John Prine can marvel listeners in the simplest of acoustic settings,...From time to time, I stumble upon a new singer/songwriter whose work warrants comparison to the luminaries on this list. ...Huber’s songwriting has me comparing him to my favorites above.” He's had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many artists including Tyler Childers; Hackensaw Boys; Scott H Biram; The Tillers; Possessed By Paul James; Dave Simonett; Robert Earl Keen; Ben Nichols; The Tossers; Charlie Parr; Amy Lavere; Horseshoes & Hand Grenades; Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band; Henhouse Prowlers; Keller Williams, and more...
As of now, Huber has delivered five solo records: 'Bury Me Where I Fall' (2010); 'Tongues Of Fire' (2012), 'The Hanging Road' (2014); and 'The Suffering Stage' (2017), 'Moondog' (2019) and now 2021 give us 'The Downtowner'--Huber's latest effort which rollicks between social and personal spheres while mixing elements of rock and folk music that fans will immediately see as maintaining a solid continuity of sound and attitude with his previous two albums--rollicking between the feelings of freedom and severity, with both wit and earnestness.

Boss Mama takes listeners on an emotional ride from smooth country heartbreak to foot stomping Americana blues and beyond. Her songwriting ranges from honest emotion and earthly imagery to the raucousness of horses, strippers, and whiskey. Her voice is authentic, her stories are relatable, and her musicianship impeccable. Myhre is a true American singer/songwriter grounded in her passion of soulful and heartfelt music.
Written by her and her husband and recorded in the living room of their rural Northern Minnesota landscape, her first album Rivers Run Dry, is a testament to the hard work and dues she has paid performing in local honky-tonks and taverns.
In 2011 Myhre released Ride of My Life. “Part Lucinda Williams and part Charlie Parr, Colleen Myhre’s gritty songwriting is as rawhide tough as it is genuine. On stage, her rustic personality can entertain both a honky tonk’s hard boiled regulars and tranquil coffee house crowds alike. Colleen Myhre has a low, full voice that is similar in timbre to Lucinda Williams.” – Duluth News Tribune
Colleen’s 2019 album Boss Mama hit the airwaves all around the northland, Twin Cities, and surrounding states. With a full 2020 summer of music festivals, concerts, and street shows planned; Covid 19 threw a curveball into everyone’s life. Colleen became more dedicated in following her passion. The “Boss Mama” solicited the skills and talents of many other musicians. She affectionately named the collaboration, ‘The Jebberhooch’, who continue to play in diverse and openhearted venues.
Boss Mama’s 4th album, Greetings from the Barnyard Lounge, is a bluesy, loungey experience like none you’ve experienced. Even the “Lonesome Rooster Blues” make an appearance. With her Guild shallow hollow body electric guitar and her raw voice she pulls you from inside saying “Come to Mama”, it’s an album that keeps you captured through its entirety. “Soul, rhythm, and grit,” says Colleen, “I once saw those words on a sign in Memphis when I went down there to visit Sun & Stax Records, and thought to myself that that just about sums up my sound. I sing with a lot of soul, I’m a heavy rhythm guitar player, and my songs are gritty.”
Boss Mama incessantly refines her performances as she forges new musical relationships in laboring to the creation of music for her herself, and her fans. Music is already in the tank for her 5th album. For Colleen, music heals, embodies love, and brings people together.
Myhre possesses the ability to hypnotize listeners by creating sympathy between her voice and guitar that resonates a true American and local spirit. She not only hopes that you appreciate her music, but that you strive to learn about her life, her passion and love of music.
