We got to play some stories on @nprmusic @tinydesk . Thank you SO MUCH @annativel for spending countless hours in the car with me and @galenclark . I’m real proud of this thing we’ve created together. Anna is one of the most deserving artists I know for this opportunity, watching her succeed is like watching your favorite character beat the bad guy in a movie. On a personal note, this was very fulfilling because I feel like I sound like *me* in this group. Thanks to everyone who’s reached out, I really appreciate all the support in this crazy endeavor we pursue. Please share if you feel so inclined. Full video link in bio ❤️

Feeling incredibly inspired after playing @bigearsfestival . It was so refreshing to see artists from so many genres reaching for the same thing. All of the music felt so REAL. It was awesome to see people who are completely dedicated to their craft be highlighted and valued. The audiences were quiet and attentive and everyone was so kind. Every artist I got to check out totally blew me away.

We are excited to partner with @edgefieldmcmenamins to produce festival performances on their historical Edgefield campus. Join us at 1pm on Sun. April 26 at Blackberry Hall for our first set: M.A.I.N.S. M.A.I.N.S. is a completely improvised project featuring some of Portland's favorite artists: Micah Hummel @__micah___ Alex Meltzer @almeltzerfaceoff Ian Michael Lindsay @ian_yuck_lindsay Noah Simpson @simpsonaire Sam Weber @samwebermusic Two days were booked at Anjuna Recording Studios in SE Portland last year, where the artists came together and just let the tape run. Every musician involved was generous enough to donate their time just for the sake of making good ol' fashioned art. This recording session produced their self-titled album M.A.I.N.S., realesed in August 2025. Tickets for their festival performance can be found at tinyurl.com/mhjf-edgefield - #pnwjazz #edgefield #livejazz #mthoodjazzfestival #gresham

another March workshop with our very own @__micah___ !!! Second Story Studios Presents... Rhythm for Songwriters Workshop with Micah Hummel Sundays in March 11:00am-12:15pm $120- via venmo ||| This workshop is designed specifically for songwriters and instrumentalists who want to deepen their rhythmic instincts and bring fresh life to their songs. Led by jazz-trained and folk-familiar drummer Micah Hummel, this 4-week class will help you break out of your ruts and explore new rhythmic palettes. Through weekly rhythm-focused songwriting assignments and a curated collection of original drum loops for you to write to, you’ll develop new tools to strengthen your rhythmic core and expand your rhythmic vocabulary. Open to songwriters, composers, and instrumentalists of all levels. ||| Micah Hummel is a seasoned jazz drummer gone rogue. After finishing his music degree in 2016, he started branching out of the jazz idioms and found himself playing nearly every style of music under the moon. Since graduating school, he has traveled all over the world to share his artistic voice with artists such as quickly, quickly, George Colligan, Anna Tivel, Jarrod Lawson, and Sama Dams to name a few. Although his jazz roots are always present in his sound, Micah is a truly versatile drummer that has let his curiosity in a vast variety of genres guide his musical path. After moving to the PNW, Micah has become one of the top call drummers for many genres. Whether you hear him on quickly, quickly’s debut singer-songwriter album or Anna Tivel’s experimental tender folk records, you will recognize his jazz-adjacent sound on over 25 recorded projects. ||| Please email [email protected] if you have any questions. :)
