Essie and The Hum

Ethereal indie rock folk band, from Portland, Oregon.

Meet Essie and The Hum.

At the center of the four-piece, Essie Humberston’s storytelling and chants anchor an ethereal, shoegazey dreamscape.

Essie's guitar and vocals are elevated by the fluid rhythm section of Jaxx Ward on bass, Steven Douglas on drums, and Paul Danowski on lead guitar.

Together, the four move effortlessly from slow-burn ballads to full-throttle rock — sometimes within the same song.

Four young adults posing against a plain white wall in a minimalistic setting.
