SAN DIEGO — The 2023 Humphreys Concerts by the Bay season will feature such longtime staples of the venue as Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band, Diana Krall, Chicago, The Temptations and Dave Koz, along with such popular tribute acts as The Australian Pink Floyd Show and One Night of Queen. Tickets for all shows go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.
The April to November lineup will also feature at least 17 headlining debuts by rising young artists — including Australia's The Teskey Brothers and France's Christine and The Queens — and an additional 16 support acts who have never played at the intimate, 1,450 capacity venue before. They include Deer Tick, Miya Folick and Spill Tab.
Humphreys' owner Richard Bartell readily acknowledges he had never heard of these 17 headliners before they were booked to play for the upcoming season. Ditto most of the 16 support acts and guest artists that are new to the venue this year. And that, he maintains, is a very good thing.
