INFO
Mike Hamel is a singer/songwriter with a bit of a different approach. Though his background is in the alternative genre, his style stems from many different musical influences, resulting in an infectious, dynamic batch of songs.
"Usually the term singer - songwriter takes on a folk ideal - very laid back and flowery. But my music is so much more than that," he explains. "It's visceral, it's energetic, it's passionate... I want people to feel something."
Based out of Beacon, NY, Mike has garnered a following in the Hudson Valley area and beyond thanks to his intensely emotional and energetic live shows. Whether it's with a full band or stripped down to just himself and a guitar, Mike manages to capture the room.
Hamel has independently released 3 eps: "Where the Change Is" (2012), "Truth" (2015), and his latest release "Lies" (2016). All of which are available online and in choice brick-and-mortar retailers.
"These new songs are going to be a huge step for me. I'm branching out from the alt-rock-ness of my music and bringing some different stuff to the table. There's some r&b, there's some blues, there's some heavier tunes... It's all over the place, but it still gels."
