 Singer, songwriter and guitarist Jen Hamel
performed for several years with
Houston-based Celtic band Clandestine (4 CDs
with them) and has a solo album of her own
original songs called "A Fine Small Storm." She
currently resides here in Columbia where she's a
reclusive Ph.D. candidate in Biological
Sciences.
Dirty Linen Magazine (folk mag) had this to
say about Jen's solo album, Fine Small Storm:
"...Last but not least, Hamel's songwriting
might be the most appealing thing about the
disc. "Babylon," a song constructed out of old
nursery rhymes and proverbs, and "Peggy," which
she built out of ballad plots and commonplaces,
are novel uses of the tradition. Both are daring
attempts, and turned out to be great songs. This
is precisely the kind of innovation that is
itself traditional, and the kind we see the
least. Her thoroughly original song "Lonesome
Heaven" is sweet, sad, and a little cryptic,
reminding me of 10,000 Maniacs in the Wishing
Chair era - high praise indeed!"
- Steve Winick, Dirty Linen
This will be a wonderfully fun evening of
