ED HAMELL

Get ready for an explosive, hilarious, and utterly essential night of music when Ed Hamell, better known as Hamell on Trial, takes the stage.

This is not your standard singer-songwriter fare. Hamell is a self-described one-man punk band who plays "loud, fast music informed by politics, passion, energy, and intelligence." Armed only with a battered, heavily amplified 1937 Gibson acoustic guitar—which he strums like a machine gun—Hamell delivers a truly unique blend of anti-folk, punk rock, and spoken word.

His live show is a frantic, funny, and profound experience. You’ll get powerful, politically-charged anthems and raw, confessional stories, all delivered with a caustic tongue and razor-sharp wit. He’s a veteran satirist, channeling the spirit of confrontational comedians like Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks, with the righteous soul of Joe Strummer.

Don’t miss this chance to see a true American original. Come prepared to laugh, think, and maybe get a little uncomfortable.
