GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — House of Hamill will perform at the Guthrie Center on Saturday, Aug. 10, as a part of the Troubadour Series of Saturday night concerts. Showtime is 8:00 PM.

 

According to a press release, House of Hamill's music is described as "upcycled Celtic folk; vintage vibes with a modern message." 

 

The band line-up includes Rose Baldino (fiddle and vocals), Brian Buchanan (fiddle, vocals, and guitar), and Caroline Browning (bass, mandolin, vocals and piano). The trio tours nationally, performing at festivals and established folk venues.

 

Their fourth full-length album, "Wildfire," will be released to radio and streaming on Aug. 1. One of the tracks slated for the new album was a recent finalist in the International Acoustic Music Awards. The song is entitled, "Shine."

 

"We set out to write a song that might inspire women in the US and give them hope after a tough year. The song is meant for women in all phases of life. It's about having the courage to strike out into new territory and find a community in which you're valued," Baldino said.

 

All three members of House of Hamill also tour with the long-time Celtic rock band, Enter the Haggis, which means that House of Hamill is almost constantly on the road. Their recent schedule has led them to perform in at least 28 states and 3 countries, including hosting multiple bus tours through Ireland.
