TOM HAMPTON with special guest Michael Hahn
The Kennett Flash is proud to present TOM HAMPTON with special guest MICHAEL HAHN Thursday, November 6, 20257pm show | 6pm doors$20 GA* | $15 MEMBERS* | $5 BYOBall ages Tom Hampton’s years as a journeyman multi-instrumentalist and sideman are bookended by his origins as a singer and songwriter – he released his critically acclaimed debut “Our Mutual Angels” in 1997 before heeding the call as a session player based on his demonstrated adeptness on multiple instruments during those recordings. His path in the years that followed found him touring with Poco, Craig Bickhardt, The Marshall Tucker Band, Robert Hazard, Dan May, Tracy Grammer and a multitude of acts who came to rely on his musical sensibilities. Hampton was the last person to join the pioneering country-rock band Poco – but following the death of founder Rusty Young in 2021, he found himself revisiting his songwriting roots during the startup of Cimarron 615 (the band formed from the surviving members of the final Poco lineup). Writing or co-writing three of the album’s songs (including the title track), he found that he’d reopened a vein…and the songs started pouring out. The resulting album, “A Month of Somedays”, owes as much to Jason Isbell and John Moreland as it does to formative influences Jackson Browne and Stephen Stills. The songs are character studies – honest looks at life, regret, and the passage of time that could only come from an abundance of mileage and experience. The music wears its West Coast country-rock origins on its sleeve, but rides an undercurrent of red-dirt Americana instrumentation and confessional singer/songwriter lyricism to form a unique, yet instantly familiar sonic landscape. ABOUT THE OPENER: Michael Hahn is a singer/songwriter who doubles as your friendly neighborhood Kennett Flash Director! Come experience the rare opportunity to see Michael perform original songs on the Flash stage! ———————————————- In accordance with Pennsylvania law, we are now an all-in pricing venue, so the price that you will see online for our shows include all fees.
