Hamell on Trial performing in the basement of a bookstore. What could be better?

For one night only, Hamell on Trial will be playing the Goblin Market Art & Community Space!

Hamell on Trial is the musical alias of folk punk hero Ed Hamell. A one-man explosion, he is loud-as-war one minute, stepping off the microphone to whisper to an enthralled audience the next. Hamell’s unique and dynamic performance style is informed by politics, passion, intelligence and an irreverent sense of humor.

Armed with a battered 1937 Gibson acoustic guitar that he amplifies mightily and strums like a machine gun, a politically astute mind that can't stop moving, and a mouth that can be profane one minute and profound the next, Hamell sets his sights on the new America. He shoots straight with his audience, whether unraveling topical issues or sharing confessional tales from his own past.

Don hasn't found out about this yet, so we're trying to keep it a surprise for him. Which Don? If you're not sure who we're talking about it, don't worry about it. Or if you want to join in on the fun anyways, keep this a secret from every Don you know.
