HUGH HAMILTON is a stay-at-home father of three who has rather obsessive-compulsively been equipping his home studio over the last few years, spending more time learning how to use gear than writing songs...MOST of what you hear on this page was done one-man-band style, but we acknowledge with gratitude the drumming of Dean Clean on a number of songs.

Rainfall
Fingerpicking acoustic guitar instrumental inspired by the likes of John Lennon, James Taylor and Andrew Chalfen; tuned DADF#AC# and capo on fourth fret.

Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
h h

Too Sad To Cry
The garden of love is thick with thorns...beware...

Blues

Are You (A Believer)?
3 May, 2008 - BRAND NEW TODAY - wrote this and recorded it this very morning. A song about the worst kind of hypocrites...started off calling this "Are YOU?" Trying the new title on for size.

Alternative Indie Folk
h h

Ukulele Odyssey (Take 1)
13 May, 2008: Written and recorded after blogging here this morning (see my blog "Sing to me, O Muse...")

Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
h h

Little Old Man (starring M. Ace)
Hugo engineers the drum/percussion work and plays only "crockery percussion" on this one - writing, singing and guitar playing by M. Ace (see www.ookworld.com) and drums (and maybe some crockery) by Dean Sabatino.

Don't Hide Your Love (Live Duet with Dick Aven)
6 July, 2008: This was one of the things we tried on our first day here at my studio...we played and sang live to one mic - Dick plays flute, I play uke...

Live Performances

L.O.V.E. (Duet with Dick Aven)
8 July, 2008 - BRAND NEW, RECORDED TODAY!!! - Banjo and Sax - and an AMAZING sax performance from Mr. Aven - check it out!

Some People
Aug 29, 2008: Wrote and recorded this just now. This is NOT about folks who adopt one or more personae for benign entertainment purposes. This is about folks who are either fearful or hiding something; unwilling to own up publicly to their thoughts or feelings; folks who lampoon or ridicule others from behind the veil of anonymity.

Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
h h

Sand Castles (The Hurricane's Coming)
6 Sept., 2008: Conceived and demo'ed this morning. Go ahead - build your mansion on the sand and see what happens...

Oh, Leigh
Recorded by ERIC LICHTER (who also made about half the noises)...a real quickie...much fun...that's his lead axe in your right speaker, Hugo in your left...and Eric took that picture of me rockin' out with his sweeeeeet Gretsch...

Alternative Retro and Psychedelic
h h

Don't Hide Your Love
28 April, 2008: Bought a new uke and a cajon a few days ago...here they are in their first recordings - a few melodic morsels I had previously worked out, but which lacked lyrics...recorded this morning, after checking the IAC blogs...and thus a song is born..

Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
h h

Tell Me
Please. Just tell me THE TRUTH.

Alternative Pop Rock

What to Do?


Alternative Retro and Psychedelic
h h

At the Cavern
I sanded the paint off a '70s Strat, reassembled it, and plugged it in hoping I hadn't wired it wrong and wouldn't blow myself up...played the rhythm guitar track on this, making it up on the spot and not intending to do anything with it. I'd like to say the lead came just as easily, but that took a week of real work. Last thing added were Dean Clean's drums. Things get a little spotty once or twice, but given the way it was done, that's no surprise...still a rockin' bit of fun - shake yer bo

Guitar Instrumental

A man gets tired of biting his tongue...

Lovely to see you still incredibly active on here and creatively - I've been struggling to write new tunes but have put up a new track here called Can't Touch The Sky at last - hope you like it.

I'm thinking of going Prime so I can put more than 2 tracks up!

Hi Hugh. Yes, the Kickstarter campaign has been interesting. After one week, I've got $750 pledged. Even if I don't hit my target of $3K, it's been good to get some buzz going on the new album. And just having all these people support me feels really rewarding. Better than cash, actually. Please forward this link to any and all! : http://kck.st/bk3wXl

Still no guitar yet.. waiting to finish the dreaded taxes... BUT... I just put the finishing touches on a teeny tiny recording studio in the house. Waiting for the Jims to come and hook everything up and teach me how to use Cubase. Can't wait.. can't wait!!

Miss you! :D
