Humbird Takes the Stage: An Enchanting Matinee for a Worthy Cause
Siri Undlin, performing under the name Humbird, will be gracing the stage alongside bassist Pat Keen this Sunday for an extraordinary matinee concert at Mad Dog Ranch and Studios. This event is part of a fundraiser for Inspire Aspen and is scheduled to commence at 2 p.m.
A Visionary Concert Series
The Roaring Fork Sessions, initiated by Ed Baney in February 2020 with a captivating performance by Lindsay Lou at Harris Concert Hall, aims to spotlight exquisite talent within the folk, bluegrass, and Americana genres. Baney envisioned transforming Harris Concert Hall into an intimate “listening room,” emphasizing its incredible acoustics—a space that had remained significantly underutilized.
“This venue on the Aspen Meadows Campus presents a wonderful setting for music appreciation,” Baney shared. “I imagined it as an ideal location to create an Americana-focused concert series.”
Since that inaugural show featuring Lou, the series has boasted performances from renowned artists including The Watkins Family Hour, Sarah Jarosz, Watchhouse, Allison Russell—who won a Grammy last year—and Bonnie Light Horseman, who many predict may be recognized in upcoming awards.
Expanding Horizons with Community Impact
This Sunday’s event marks Baney’s first endeavor outside of Harris Concert Hall as he partners with Siri Undlin (Humbird) to host this charitable concert at Mad Dog Ranch and Studios.
“I noticed Julie Garside from Mad Dog Ranch attending our shows regularly,” he explained. “Her work there impressed me deeply alongside Inspire Aspen Foundation’s efforts to equip young talents with opportunities to perform live and experience studio recording.”

Garside plays a pivotal role in making people aware of this remarkable venue steeped in history—it was once owned by music icons Jimmy Buffett and Glenn Frey.A Fusion of Genres
Humbird’s musical style elegantly melds Celtic rhythms with modern rock influences while drawing inspiration from church melodies. Tickets are priced at $58 and can be secured via aspenshowtix.com. The evening will kick off at 2 p.m., featuring performances by Inspire Aspen participants Tristan Trincado and Gracie Feinberg before Humbird takes over around 3 p.m., concluding by 5 p.m.
Born Siri Undlin in Edina, Minnesota—where she found herself playing ice hockey—her journey into music began when she collaborated on Celtic tunes within her youth program alongside triplet teammates influenced by her family’s Lutheran church hymns amidst prominent late ’90s pop icons like Alanis Morissette and Avril Lavigne.
“My range of influences is quite varied,” revealed Humbird during her interview with local press. “Still connected through melody; our music blends those elements together.” She often intertwines Lutheran melodieswith Irish sounds while incorporating introspective pop rendered familiar through Morissette’s penmanship—the flavors emerge distinctly during each performance; every night presents something refreshingly new.
Pat Keen supports her on bass guitar while Nate LeBrun adds depth on drums; combining their expertise creates more than just sound—it transforms experience into art.
Drawing upon Nebraska’s tiny town named Humbird (whose population stands only at 67), Undlin adopted this name after performing as part of another band project years ago—a moniker now firmly associated with her growing presence across diverse festivals that attract around 200 thousand monthly listeners tuning into streaming platforms like Spotify. Recently released was “Right On,” marking her third studio album accompanied by two Billy Joel covers revitalizing classic hits weeks prior.
With such unique surroundings enhancing their performance this Sunday —makes it likely that attendees might reminisce about their early exposure when they inevitably enjoy reminiscing about Humboldt down memory lane someday soon! “Music constitutes our human legacy,” states Undlin passionately adding how profound its influence stretches beyond immediate enjoyment—creating lasting connections amongst humankind whenever magic occurs inside shared spaces where creativity thrives equally among artist(s) & audience alike—they become entwined inside moments where discovery happens most unexpectedly yet beautifully too!
“Through inviting audiences inwardly towards artistry being presented before them—as much theirs too—they collectively benefit mutually embracing vast possibilities available during meaningful encounters found therein throughout each exploration undertaken!”
