Upcoming Events
House of Hamill
July 1 7:30 PM
Keene Valley Congregational Church
Sometimes the best musical ventures come together almost entirely by chance. In 2018, the folk duo of Rose Baldino and Brian Buchanon was booked to play the closing act on a big stage at a Colorado festival, so they hired some extra musicians to fill out their sound. When the musicians’ flights were cancelled on the day of the show, a frantic search introduced Brian and Rose to local musician Caroline Browning, who joined them on bass. The chemistry was undeniable, and House of Hamill became a trio.
Today, the Pennsylvania-based Trio is a fixture on festival stages across the US, and have shared their music and stories on the country’s premier folk stages. Their version of Pound a Week Rise rose to #1 on the US Folk DJ charts, and the video for their all-violin cover of Sweet Child O’ Mine amassed over 16 million views on Facebook, where it was shared over 400,000 times. Their latest release, Folk Hero, captures perfectly the frenetic energy and eclecticism of their always engaging live show. A lively collection of original instrumentals, reimagined folk ballads, and new songs that showcase the trio’s versatility, Folk Hero is the third House of Hamill album to be funded entirely by their fans.
Whether they’re ripping through a set of original jigs and reels, adding lush three-part harmonies into traditional folk ballads, or cracking up an audience with stories from the road, House of Hamill puts on a show that captivates audiences from the very first note.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.
