Andrew Hamm Band LIVE ALBUM RECORDING November 11!

Dear friends,

I hope to see you all on Sunday, November 11 from 6:30-8:30 PM at ComedySportz Improv Theatre for the recording of MY FIRST-EVER LIVE ALBUM!

I've been writing a ton of new music in the past few years, and it's come too fast to be efficiently recorded in the studio. So what's a songwriter to do? The answer was obvious: play a show full of brand-new, unrecorded music, record it, and make a CD in 2008. Come on out to hear a bunch of songs that no audience has ever heard, with a few surprises thrown in to boot.

From the sacred to the secular to the silly, the show features my brother Philip Hamm on bass and my nephew Joseph Hamm on drums. Cheer, clap, and sing along, and hear yourself on the CD!

Go to http://www.comedysportzrichmond.com/ for more information about the venue, and call (804) 266-9377 to buy your tickets! A mere $10 for adults, $7 for students. That's a STEAL for two hours of awesome music from Andrew Hamm and His Foolhardy Band!

I'm Playing the Chesterfield Fall Music Festival

This Saturday, September 22, I'm going to be one of four artists playing at the Chesterfield Fall Music Festival, sponsored by the Amazing Grace Coffee House. The other artists include Somewhat Undecided and Dale Traylor.

The festival runs from 4:00 to 8:00 at the Lutheran Church of Our Saviour, 9601 Hull Street Road. Here's a map. It's free, and there are cheesesteaks!

I'm scheduled to start at 5:45 and could go as long as 7:00. Dang, that's a lot of music! I'm going to bounce between piano and guitar, as is my wont of late, and a lot of new songs are going to make their public debut. I'm very jazzed about this show for itself, but also as a way to try out some material in preparation for the November 11 show at ComedySportz, which will be recorded as a live album.

I hope to see a bunch of you there!
