With a style that drew comparisons to Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen and John Prine, Dirk Hamilton released a slew of critically acclaimed major label records in the mid-70’s into the 80’s (Meet Me at the Crux is considered a minor masterpiece), before leaving the music industry behind to counsel troubled teens. He never really stopped though, becoming something of a star in Italy and quietly releasing 15 more albums since 1989.\nHis latest CD Touch and Go was released earlier this year. He has rock & roll passion, razor sharp wit, and the poetic musings of someone who has seen it all. He’s the real deal.\nTickets are $20 and are available at the link below or at the door the night of the show...
