Hamell

Hamell On Trial celebrates the holiday season with a show you will never forget. Dust Bowl Faeries will help take it over the top.

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. In addition to world-class songwriting, a Hamell show is a multidisciplinary experience drawing from the worlds of theatre, stand-up comedy and storytelling. His performances invoke thoughts of the great rebellious satirists and social commentators of the past, from Lenny Bruce to Richard Pryor to Bill Hicks. Hamell on Trial is the modern day voice of dissent and social commentary, fighting a one-man war armed with irrepressible energy and a seeker's soul. His show is a 75-minute journey into true and authentic connection driven by the willingness to fight for the disenfranchised and celebrate the free thinkers of the world. Don't we need that now more than ever?

DUST BOWL FAERIES (trio) - Dark Carnival Dream Music
Film Noir music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00j-1ICt_GY A faerie-tale fusion of dark cabaret and gothic polka music infused with a dose of witchcraft and a dusting of woodland magic. The accordion driven freak-folk ensemble draws inspiration from circus music, murder ballads and Eastern European folk songs. Singing saw, piano accordion, electric bass and acoustic guitar combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries’ otherworldly sound. Dust Bowl Faeries was founded by Ryder Cooley (faerie queen) and her taxidermy spirit animal, Hazel the Ram. Ryder and Hazel are joined by Jon B. Woodin (rocket faerie), Jude Roberts (hobbit faerie) for this special trio performance.

In previous years, the band’s former entity took on the roles of Spinal Tap (2022) and the Blues Brothers (2023), complete with storytelling, visual elements, and creative art structures.

The residency's first and third nights will also feature another act, with Escaper opening on October 17th, and the November 14th act to be announced.

Let’s get cozy in Albany. See you this Fall!
