National Touring Act, House of Hamill, to Perform at Club Passim

ALLENTOWN, PA: House of Hamill will appear in concert at Club Passim on Sunday, April 30th. They last graced the Cambridge folk club stage as a part of the 2019 Spring Folk Fest, presented by the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance. The Showtime for House of Hamill is 7:00 PM. Doors open at 6:00.

House of Hamill’s music has been described as sophisticated, independent Celtic-infused folk. The trio tours nationally, performing at Celtic festivals and established folk venues. The band includes Rose Baldino (fiddle and vocals), Brian Buchanan (fiddle, vocals, and guitar), and Caroline Browning (bass, mandolin, and piano).

All three musicians also tour with the band, Enter the Haggis, which means that House of Hamill is almost constantly on the road. Their 2023 schedule will lead them to at least 28 states and 3 countries, including hosting a sold-out musical bus tour through the west of Ireland in October. A repeat Ireland tour is already in the works for April 2024.

Buchanan writes, “I don’t think that we, or any of our touring friends, were really prepared for the zero-to-ten-thousand launch back into playing live shows again. Once venues reopened, we went from 18 months at home to the blitzing chaos of full-time touring with two different bands, as if a switch had been flipped.”

House of Hamill has been performing, writing, and recording together since 2015. Their third album, “Folk Hero”, received strong support on the 2022 Folk-DJ charts, as well as from Celtic music podcasters. A new album release is planned for later this year.

The Showtime for House of Hamill is 7:00 pm. Tickets are $20. Livestream will be available for $5, or free for members Tickets and information at www.passim.org or call (617) 492-7679.
