Humphrey has also been the leader of The Paul Humphrey Band, The Monkey Tree, and Broken Arrow.[1] Blue PeterBlue Peter was founded by Humphrey and Chris Wardman in the late 1970s. Humphrey sang lead, and was known for his low-timbred singing, compared at times to that of David Bowie[2] and Bryan Ferry,[3] as well as his "suave" looks[4] and dancing style. While a member of Blue Peter, he earned the Male Vocalist of the Year award at 1984's CASBY Awards (then known as The U-Knows), held by CFNY radio in Toronto.[4] Humphrey and Blue Peter perform shows occasionally, often as part of "retro" events, such as the Juno Awards 40th Anniversary Concert Series held at the Horseshoe Tavern[5] in January 2011. Solo careerAfter stints with The Paul Humphrey Band and Monkey Tree, Humphrey formed Broken Arrow with Blue Peter bass player Ric Joudrey in 1997.[6] Broken Arrow recorded and released two CDs, Bend (1997),[7] and Four Ways to Centre (2000).[8] In 2007 Humphrey released a solo album, A Rumour of Angels, which he recorded with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.[9] John Sakamoto selected People Let You Down from this album for mention in his Anti-Hit List in 2007,[10] noting that the album's style was a significant departure from Humphrey's musical past.[10] In 2008, Humphrey contributed vocals to Your Flight Tonight on ProCon's album Kingmaker.[11] Personal lifeHumphrey comes from a musical family, and has three brothers who are also professional musicians; actor Mark Humphrey is a drummer, John Humphrey plays bass, and Andy Humphrey is a singer/songwriter/guitarist. His sister Lesley has modeled extensively. Early in his career Humphrey also made acting appearances in a few television series including The Series and Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future.
