“Absolutely electrifying... mesmerizing melodies that redefine what’s traditional, with personality and verve.” - Paul MacArthur, CelticRadio.net
Pennsylvania-based House of Hamill is a fixture on festival stages across the US and have shared their music and stories on the country’s premier folk stages. Their version of “Pound a Week Rise” rose to #1 on the US Folk DJ charts, and the video for their all-violin cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” amassed over 17 million views on Facebook, where it was shared over 400,000 times.
House of Hamill's fourth full-length album “Wildfire” continues the band's exploration of tight vocal harmonies and acoustic-pop sensibilities, seamlessly grafting modern hooks onto centuries-old folk ballads. Their songs pull influences from all corners of the musical landscape: from Ireland to Motown, from Appalachia to Depression-era New York, with plenty of unexpected and delightful pit stops along the way.
“Wildfire” is filled with lyrical depth, sophisticated vocal and instrumental arrangements, and hooks that are simply irresistible. This album captures the vibrant energy and creativity that have become the hallmarks of a House of Hamill live show.
“House of Hamill’s ‘Wildfire’ offers both the acoustic and electric side and does both adeptly and with a good deal of class.” -George Graham, WVIA Public Radio
