All of Humphreys’ musical projects have shared some common elements: His distinctive soulful rasp, channeling Sam Cooke; his tight, imaginative guitar work; and his gift for writing melodic, catchy, deceptively simple tunes. — Eddie Huffman, Winston-Salem Journal

Singer, songwriter, guitarist and bandleader Greg Humphreys has been performing and recording music for over 30 years, with tours across the U.S., Canada and Europe, music festival appearances, and albums on Atlantic and London Records. His latest solo LP, titled Disappearing, hit the streamers on October 2, 2024.

Humphreys cut his teeth on the southeastern college circuit as frontman and songwriter for college rock band Dillon Fence with schoolmates Chris Goode, Kent Alphin and Scott Carle.

The success of their 1989 debut EP helped make Dillon Fence a top draw in the Southeast and led to a record deal with Mammoth/Atlantic Records and three LPs – Rosemary, Outside In, and Living Room Scene.

Dillon Fence performed over a thousand shows throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, with extended tours supporting X, The Black Crowes, and Hootie and the Blowfish. The bnad stopped touring as a fulltime unit in 1995. Since 2002, the band has reunited regularly to perform for its appeciative fans.

In the mid ‘90s, Humphreys formed funk n' soul band Hobex with bassist Andy Ware and drummer Steve Hill. Hobex released their debut The Payback EP and full-length Back In the '90s on Humphreys' Phrex Records imprint.

Slash/London Records re-released Back In the '90s in 1999 and the Humphreys/Jim Smith-penned song “Windows” was featured in the hit movie “Rounders.”

Hobex followed up with U Ready, Man? on Tone-Cool/Artemis Records in 2002. Hobex chalked up over a thousand shows, with frequent appearances on the music festival circuit of the '00s.

Following the final Hobex LP Enlightened Soul, Humphreys took a well-deserved break from touring and released four mostly acoustic LPs—Trunk Songs, Realign Your Mind, People You May Know, and Bohemia—which featured solo recordings and collaborations with friends such as Gibb Droll and Watchhouse.

Humphreys moved to NYC from his native North Carolina in 2014 and soon formed Greg Humphreys Electric Trio with bassist Matt Brandau and drummer Keith Robinson. The trio released two LPs, Lucky Guy and Haymaker.

G.H.E.T. appeared at Lockn’ Festival in 2019 and their song “Blood From a Stone” was featured in season 2 of the hit Netflix series Outer Banks. Returning to solo work after the Pandemic, Humphreys released an LP in 2021 called Spanish Steps.

Humphreys has co-written songs with legendary Stax Records soul singer William Bell. Two of their songs appear on Bell's 2023 album, One Step Closer to Home.

Humphreys’ catalog of music recently hit the one million streams mark, according to Phrex Records’ label distributor The Orchard.
