Jefferson Hamer is a songwriter, guitarist, and traditional musician based in Brooklyn, NY. His personal influences include classic British folk icons such as Richard Thompson and Bert Jansch, golden-era songwriters in the Gordon Lightfoot vein, cosmic American country from Gram Parsons to the Grateful Dead, steely guitar twangsters, bluegrass harmony singers, and progressive innovators of Irish traditional music such as Planxty and the Bothy Band.
Jefferson’s diverse musical background is borne out on many fruitful collaborations. With Hadestown creator Anais Mitchell, he wrote and recorded Child Ballads, an album of reimagined English folk songs which earned a BBC2 Folk Award and was named one of NPR’s top-ten Folk releases of the year. His duo with Dublin-born songwriter and traditional musician Eamon O’Leary, The Murphy Beds, has toured extensively across the USA and Europe and performed with Glen Hansard, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, and Sam Amidon.
He will be joined for this concert by acclaimed bassist Jonti Siman.
