Humble Night

A Collection of Christmas and Advent Music

Often, the prophetic texts, Gospel birth narratives, and beloved carols of this season are treated as sentimental tales. Our songs aim to rediscover these stories as living truths. We hope listeners will hear anew the mystery of Christ’s coming as a present unfolding. One of our songs expresses our deepest hope: “He has always been, He will always be, in the manger of your heart.”

Humble Night blends contemporary folk and Americana with Celtic-tinged ballads, jazzy world beat rhythms, and soulful Gospel-inspired melodies. Many are suited for adaptation by music ministry and worship teams, including solo performances with accompaniment, choir arrangements, and selections that invite  congregational participation. Whether presented in a concert setting or integrated into liturgical services, the music is both artistically rich and spiritually resonant.

Humble Night Reviews

Jamie Lee Rake - The Shepherd express

Music for the winter holidays from local acts doesn't come along often, but here's a sincere and tuneful example deserving of repeat play for many Decembers to come. 

 

Chris Iverson - The Coffee House Board President

Humble Night is a new album from singer-songwriters Barb and Tom Webber that humbly describes itself as a collection of Advent and Christmas songs. It is that, but is so much more:  a collection of beautifully crafted lyrics and melodies, gorgeous instrumentation (Barb and Tom teamed up with some wonderful local and Nashville masters), and a weaving of traditional Christmas stories with new perspectives and insights. The songs abound with themes of the Christmas story, peace, darkness and light, the Holy Family, and our own families.

Lisa Medina - Chicago Singer-Songwriter

As a singer-songwriter myself, I appreciate the story-telling throughout the album. Each song has a message, from celebrating love, to embracing different backgrounds, to contemplating the passing of time. Tom and Barb bring their musicality and heartfelt interpretations, creating a work that not only resonates during the holiday season but also has a timeless appeal. "Humble Night" is an invitation to pause, reflect, and embrace the beauty of love.
