Greg Humphreys has been a fixture in the Triangle music scene since this mid-’80s; having led his bands Dillon Fence and HOBEX to near-mainstream success. Each of his ventures have possessed all of the required elements to break into the top of the Billboard charts, but they could never make it over the ever-eluding mainstream hump.
Our executive Web producer Stacy Peterson has a great story about the first time he saw Dillon Fence live.

“I still have the little red flier lying around somewhere at home …
It was early 1991 and I paid my $5 and went to The Brewery (which is still on Hillsborough Street) to see the band Dillon Fence. I had heard these songs ‘Something For You’ and ‘Daylight’ in 1990 from a demo and was finally going to check them out …
The opening act?
A special acoustic performance from a guy from Virginia named Dave Matthews.
So that’s the story of Dillon Fence, a regional band that very nearly made it in the early 1990s but couldn’t quite get into the mainstream.”
Throughout Dillon Fence’s tenure, the band was signed to Carrboro-based Mammoth Records and consistently sold out regional performances. Even before they exploded with “Hold My Hand,” Hootie & The Blowfish regularly opened for Dillon Fence and incorporated Fence covers into their sets.
Years of nearly constant touring has resulted in Humphreys writing and recording a solo album completely on his own. The songs on Trunk Songs are raw and honest. They are Humphreys at his most vulnerable and at the top of his game.
This weekend you can catch Humphreys with Dillon Fence at the Mammoth Records 21st birthday bash at Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro. He will be performing with HOBEX on May 2 at the Brennan Station Concert Series on Hillsborough Street and June 6 for Bandtogether at Lincoln Theatre with Rusted Root, The Rosebuds and Chatham County Line.
