Bands

Here is a short list of some of the people I have most enjoyed working with. (Click on the image to view full size.)

Hamilton County - Jazz & Bluegass - USA

Hamilton County is a progressive bluegrass band combining traditional bluegrass, new acoustic music and jazz to create a new acoustic sound in the modern tradition of Bela Fleck and David Grisman. Founded by Bob Hamilton (Model Airplane, Bob Hamilton Jazz Trio) on guitar, the trio features Adam Montminy (Groupo Esperanza, Eric Bettencourt, Frank Hopkins & Line of Force) on upright bass and Evan Chase on mandolin.

Started in the winter of 2007, this talented group has played some of Portland's favorite venues. Although bluegrass music is the common thread that brought the group together, the band goes beyond the typical bluegrass songbook. The set list includes originals, fiddle tunes, world music, swing, gypsy jazz, and banjo breakdowns. The rich interplay of these three talented musicians is sure to impress. The debut album from Hamilton County, "Brokedown Breakdown" is a collection of original music influenced by bluegrass, jazz, swing, and world music.

Bob Hamilton Jazz Trio - USA & Europe

Bob Hamilton Jazz Trio in Portland Maine

The Bob Hamilton Jazz Trio was founded in 2008. Featuring Bob Hamilton on guitar, Portland, Maine bassist Chris Sprague, and NYC based drummer Noel Brennan, the trio serves up an adventurous mix of contemporary, traditional, and original jazz. This house band can push through a hard driving Be-Bop tune, a dirty Mingus blues, or an experimental take on a traditional standard. Playing host to an array of guest musicians, the trio aims to play exciting, spontaneous, and adventurous mix of all types of jazz.

Lyle Divinsky - Soul, Rock, & Funk - USA

Lyle in "The Studio" Casco St. Portland Maine

Soul. That’s what Lyle Divinsky brings without fail. Channeling the honest essence of folk and the power of funk, Lyle’s music just makes you feel good, plain and simple.

Ragtime Wrangelers - Rockabilly, Western Swing, & Surf-Rock - Europe

Great Bassist from Rotterdam Huey Moore

When you ask their influence and the music they want to play, they all will answer: early Country, Hillbilly, Western Swing, Rockabilly, Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Jazz and everything in between. The Ragtime Wranglers are crazy about instrumentals. The Ragtime Wranglers are: Joe Sixpack (guitar, steel-guitar), Sietse (drums, percussion) and Huey Moor (upright bass) and at few occasions an extra percussionist or guitar-picker joins the band.

Gypsy Tailwind - Alt Country, Blues, & Rock - USA

Bob Hamilton with Gypsytailwind at Baystock, Portland 2009 A soulful Americana act even more mobile than their name might imply, Gypsy Tailwind, led by Daniel Connor, has taken the Northeast by storm. After forming in early 2008, GT quickly rose to the level of guaranteed sellout headliner in Portland.
