Mechanics Hall is the premier event venue and concert hall in Central Massachusetts.
Artist: House of Hamill
Pennsylvania-based trio House of Hamill brings high-octane energy and genre-bending celtic folk to every stage they grace. With soaring harmonies, fiery fiddle tunes, and award-winning original songwriting, they create exhilarating performances. From reimagined rock classics to original reels and ballads, their intricate arrangements and tight harmonies reflect a fresh take on Celtic folk. Come on out for a night of toe-tapping, spirited fun!
House of Hamill owes its existence – almost entirely – to a series of cancelled flights. Rose Baldino and Brian Buchanan first found themselves onstage together at the 2014 Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City. Rose’s band Burning Bridget Cleary was scheduled to perform, but inclement weather prevented two of her bandmates from flying. Desperate to salvage the showcase, Rose approached Brian, who she knew fronted Canadian celtic rock band Enter the Haggis. She thrust a guitar into Brian’s hands, pulled him onstage, and the two just clicked. Four years and hundreds of shows later, the duo was booked to play a closing slot at a Colorado festival, so they hired a bass player and drummer to fill out their sound. By the oddest of coincidences, their hired bandmates’ flights were canceled the day of the show. A frantic Facebook post introduced Brian and Rose to local musician Caroline Browning, who joined them on bass for the weekend. Once again, the chemistry was undeniable, and House of Hamill became a trio.
