press bio (short)

Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Jefferson Hamer started out on the Colorado and West Coast festival circuits, first with the original acoustic trio Single Malt Band, and later in the electric country outfit Great American Taxi. In 2008 he moved to Brooklyn, NY, and now plays with an A-list of folk, pop, and traditional artists including Anais Mitchell, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, Reed Foehl, and Laura Cortese. His solo shows are typically performed on electric guitar, lending an explosive, full-spectrum sound to his original songs. Jefferson’s only solo release, 2004’s Left Wing Sweetheart, earned a 4-star review from Marquee Music Magazine, who wrote it “sounds like a forgotten Gram Parsons release suddenly discovered.”
