About:
The Hum was manifested from a vision of music, business, and community-minded people to provide Hickory, NC, and surrounding areas with an outdoor music and event space like none other. The founders started this venture by listening to our friends and neighbors and asking them what do you wanted. Their replies were resounding “Something different”, “something outside”, “something that Hickory can be proud of”, “something family friendly”. The guys at the Hum listened, and guess what? We’re doing it. The Hum is a space that will be different, exciting, and a community point of pride. A place to gather with old friends, to meet new friends, and most importantly, a place to get down and boogie.

Grab your friends, family, and favorite lawn chairs for an evening concert on the front lawn of the HUB Station! Our featured band will be Pressley Laton. Her country and rock-influenced vocals will punch right through you like Starr Larkin’s paddle, a wooden school paddle that Pressley Laton’s principal nicknamed “Ol’ George,” that is. With at least 3 chords and the half-truth as in her debut single, “Ol’ George,” the Stanly County, NC native’s small-town stories inspire her songwriting. Whether it was crossing paths with a local “Mountain Man” before graduating from Appalachian State University or the fact she had to break the news to her dad that she wasn’t coming back home because of it, her gritty country sound will have you tapping your toes all night long.
