SUMMARY:Thrilling Upcycled Celtic Folk Trio House of Hamill in Concert
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register Here“Absolutely electrifying… mesmerizing melodies that redefine what’s traditional\, with personality and verve.” — CelticRadio.net \nHouse of Hamill returns to Hill Center following their sold-out 2024 concert \nHouse of Hamill owes its existence – almost entirely – to a series of cancelled flights. \nRose 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. \nFour 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. The band’s latest release\, “Wildfire\,”  marks House of Hamill’s most compelling work to date. Featuring their strongest and most exciting songwriting\, “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. Whether they’re ripping through a set of original jigs and reels\, adding lush three-part harmonies into traditional folk ballads\, or cracking up an audience with stories from the road\, House of Hamill puts on a show that captivates audiences from the very first note. \nToday\, 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 original song “Banks of the Brandywine” was a Grand Prize winner in the 2024 John Lennon Songwriting Contest\, and the video for their all-violin cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” amassed over 16 million views on Facebook\, where it was shared over 400\,000 times.

SUMMARY:Stone Room Concerts @ Hill Center Featuring Modern Folk/Americana Sextet Buffalo Rose
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereCurated and Hosted by Stone Room Concerts Founder David Holiday \nHill Center is thrilled to welcome back the phenomenal Buffalo Rose following their sold-out 2024 Concert. \n“How can a band be loose and tight at the same time? Listen to Buffalo Rose for the answer. I flat love them.” \n— Tom Paxton\, folk music legend and GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient \nBuffalo Rose is a charismatic six-piece modern folk/Americana band from Pittsburgh\, PA. They take the singer-songwriter tradition to a new level by crafting original songs which are emotive\, meticulously arranged\, and inspired by a world of idiosyncratic influences that never let a dull or predictable moment creep in. \nThe band’s most recent release Again\, Again\, Again has brought forth a shimmering and sophisticated sound to their well crafted songs.  A follow up to their 2022 EP Rabbit\, a project created in collaboration with Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Tom Paxton\, they released two records last year and show no signs of slowing down. Their 2018 debut album\, The Soil and the Seed\, established them as a vocal\, instrumental\, and creative force. Since then\, Buffalo Rose has dropped two EPs\, 2019’s Big Stampede and 2020’s Borrowed and Blue\, opened for the Wood Brothers\, Mipso\, Pokey LaFarge\, Tyler Childers\, Infamous Stringdusters\, and shared a festival stage with the legendary Sam Bush. \nBuffalo Rose’s lineup of Lucy Clabby (vocals)\, Margot Jezerc (vocals)\, Bryce Rabideau (mandolin)\, Malcolm Inglis (dobro)\, Jason Rafalak (upright bass)\, and Shane McLaughlin (guitar\, vocals) pushes itself and each other far beyond their perceived limits and blends their diverse and atypical approach to songwriting with the desire to see how unique a song can get and still feel like home. They use powerful vocal harmonies\, strong playing\, and an original vision to operate at every possible emotional level and put on dynamic live shows that are unforgettable experiences. They go from up and moving to sad and sweet and back again\, bringing the entire audience along. \nThis combination of artistry and enthusiasm makes Buffalo Rose one of the most vital and important groups working today. Rather than play the folk music of the past\, the band gleefully combines genres and ideas together to move acoustic music forward to a new\, contemporary place without ever losing sight of its roots. Fans of Lake Street Dive\, Nickel Creek\, and Punch Brothers will find much to like in this crew. Anyone seeking compelling new acoustic music needs to join Buffalo Rose in the future right now. \n“The balancing act that the six musicians of Buffalo Rose achieve is something to be celebrated. The group match each other’s energy both in instances of quiet tenderness and rich swells… that vocal blend not only sets the mood for the folk tunes but also makes those dynamic changes seem so fluid.” \n— NPR Music \nAbout David Holiday: David Holiday — a lifelong music aficionado who in his youth performed with the Grammy-winning Texas Boys Choir and numerous youth orchestras and ensembles\, founded Stone Room Concerts together with his wife in 2012 to bring  intimate\, high-quality performances by local\, national and international independent musicians to the DMV area.  He has hosted more than 200 shows over the past decade in homes\, churches and other eclectic venues\, including for several years at Bikenetic\,a full service bicycle shop in Falls Church. Stone Room Concerts also serves as the fiscal agent for Niñas Arriba\, a charitable project of Latin Grammy-nominee Gina Chavez and their wife Jodi Granado\, which they set up to support the college education of young women in El Salvador and Central America.  In keeping with his long standing professional involvement with Central America\, Holiday is part of a team supporting the Maya Kaqchikel musician Sara Curruchich.  In 2023\, he had the privilege of serving as tour manager for Curruchich’s first-ever US tour\, including major venues and festivals in New York\, California\, Colorado and Illinois. \n \n
