Human
and the Other Humans Bio
The
Human Revolution is a group of multi-talented musicians
who perform original music featuring positive lyrics
and body-shakin’ grooves.
With a cast of players that reads like an atlas,
this multi-cultural group plays songs in a variety
of styles and genres. From roots reggae to original
rock, Island to country and Latin to bluegrass,
the songs transition beautifully from one to another
high-lighting the common theme of togetherness
and self-awareness.
The
leader of the band is Human, a young multi-instrumentalist
singer-songwriter and traveler from the eastern
U.S. He formed the core of the band in 2004 with
fellow Human and percussion leader Steve Crowningshield
and all purpose multi-instrumentalist Johnny Qwest,
both members of the North Coast “Bhakti Tribe”. Human
released the studio album “Naked” featuring
his hit songs “Naked” “Soul Revival” and “Don’t
Blame Me I Voted For Willie Nelson.” While
touring Hawai’i in 2005 Human picked up soul
singer Elana Cydney (Maui Groove Tribe), shredding
guitar rocker Pit Steffan from Germany, and partner
veteran backup vocalist Shasta Steffan. The
most recent members of the band, legendary Mendocino
Coast sound engineer Peter Temple (Rhythmistics)
on bass, and veteran drummer David Sinclair (Gardener,
The Blue Dot) and Big Island fiddlinist Adele Wynn
(Peacetribe), complete the core of the band’s
groove, as they spread the vibes of unconditional
love, responsibility, and hope.
The
Human Revolution often invites special guests
and emcees to join in the musing. In 2006
the band had a successful tour of Maui and released
the live album “Acoustic Alive on Maui,” and
the recently released studio album Breathe (2007)
is already receiving great critical acclaim.
The Human Revolution is about bringing an important
message of awareness to the masses hidden in the
fun and infectious world-beat and Americana style
tunes. Sometimes focusing on themes difficult to
discuss in everyday life, such as genocide and other
political atrocities, they force the listeners to
think while
grooving
in a transcendental state of ecstatic dance and
always leave them with positive solutions to
ponder. Human’s catchy, soulful mantras
leave listeners singing and humming his tunes
for weeks to come!
