in Hialeah, Florida, "The Shack North". There thoughts come to life. Art, lights, colors, instruments, inventions and toys

all fill the space that helps formulate what is Humbert.

Once upon a time,  there was a band called I Don't Know. The eclectic and worldly "IDK" toured the country and was

receiving attention from major labels just as their singer/accordionist Mark Ruiz decided to retire from performing.

Rather than search for a replacement rock and roll accordion player, Ferny Coipel (vocals/guitar/organs/etc), Izo Besares

(drums/vocals) and Tony Landa (bass/vocals) decided that it was time for a change in musical direction and in 1997,

Humbert was born. Since then, they have released critically acclaimed records. They have showcase at SXSW in Austin

and CMJ Music Marathon in NYC. They have opened for The Dead Milkmen, Apples in Stereo, Guster, Ween, Superdrag,

Roger Waters, Denny Laine of Wings and even Miami pop/freestyle legends Expose. Go figure. Over the years, they  have

been named Best Pop Band and Best Rock Band by Miami New Times, Best Indie Band by City Link Magazine, Band To Watch

For by Creative Loafing, Best Live Band by South Florida ABC affiliate WPLG and "maybe the best band ever out of Florida" by

All Music Guide. Their 2003 album Plant The Trees Closer Together made The Big Takeover's Top 40 and was named Best Indie

Release by Miami Herald's Street Magazine.

Humbert, which now also includes guitarist Jorge Hernandez, along with Coipel, Besares and Landa will celebrate their first ever

vinyl release - a 7" single with a cover of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" on the A-side and a previoulsy unreleased Humbert track

"You Said" on the B-side, by finally returning to the stage for the first time since February 2020.
