About this event
On Saturday, October 24th the Community Center for the Performing Arts presents the Tom Hamilton Band to the WOW Hall. Photo of Tom Hamilton Band by Bob Sweeney Tom Hamilton has made a career of pushing rock n’ roll boundaries. Since 2000, Hamilton has fronted a cadre of bands, including Brothers Past, American Babies and Ghost Light.
He also sings and plays lead guitar in the juggernaut contemporary Grateful Dead cover band, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. It wasn’t until a series of personal and societal crises compelled the Philadelphia based musician/songwriter/producer to reconsider his approach and finally forge ahead under his own name. “When you’re in a van on the road for 20 years, you live in your bubble, you think that your world is one way — and it’s not.

The pandemic break gave me the time to see that. Then my band broke up and my dad got sick. The only refuge I had was the studio.”
I’m Your Vampire , Hamilton’s most personal effort yet is a 10-song suite wreathed in tattered-flannel rock & roll that encapsulates Hamilton’s salvation in isolation, as he sorts through the darkness to find a pinpoint of light. “It takes effort to not just be jaded as we age — to not look at the world in a hardened way,” Hamilton says. “Yeah, it’s a dark, dark fucking time, let’s make some lemonade.”
His album I’m Your Vampire co-produced by Hamilton and Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman/Wednesday) is out now via AWAL/Relix.

Years of touring, gigging, and recording, along with a touch of mystical fate, have brought this group together.
Their unique blend of rootsy acoustic/electric vibes with songs that resonate from a lifetime of ups, downs, and everything in-between creates original music that is both soulful and one-of-a-kind with a vulnerable perspective of life in these modern times. The Loose End has a musical synergy that flows with ease, with storytelling as much in the instrumental performance as the song itself. Tim McLaughlin – guitar/vocals Aaron Nelson – bass/vocals John Raden – drums/vocals
