Humble Tripe came to form as the music project of Shawn Luby. Luby, a runaway from the competitive classical guitar word, took to the streets picking up any strung stick he could find on his voyage to make new noise! The journey got some juice when Luby joined up with drummer Melissa York, self taught pop-punk drummer extraordinaire (Team Dresch, Butchies, ex-Members), and string player supreme, Stud Green. The result was a a classical/folk/american/punk/pop trifecta meant to entice and lure in the next round of Humble Tripers.
