"A one man Tarantino flick: loud, vicious, luridly hilarious, gleefully and deeply offensive" The Village VoiceHamell on Trial is the musical alias of folk punk hero Ed Hamell. A one-man explosion, he is loud-as-war one minute, stepping off the microphone to whisper to an enthralled audience the next. Hamell’s unique and dynamic performance style is informed by politics, passion, intelligence and an irreverent sense of humor.
Armed with a battered 1937 Gibson acoustic guitar that he amplifies mightily and strums like a machine gun, a politically astute mind that can't stop moving, and a mouth that can be profane one minute and profound the next, Hamell sets his sights on the new America. He shoots straight with his audience, whether unraveling topical issues or sharing confessional tales from his own past.
Ed’s caustic wit and devil-may-care attitude have made him a long time critical favorite, inciting Rolling Stone to call him "Bald, bold and super bad." Henry Rollins says, "… he has a real attachment to truth that makes him continually vital.” He has been described as "Bill Hicks, Hunter S. Thompson, and Joe Strummer all rolled into one" by Philadelphia Weekly.
