....... "This band is filled to the brim with accomplished, emotional musicians with talent beyond belief." MOBILE REGISTER 2004
....... "Hamelin thrives on dramatic musical, emotional tension" .... MOBILE REGISTER 2005
......." Simply calling this band "worth hearing" would be far from an understatement" .... THE VANGUARD 2006
Hamelin’s melodies follow in the wake of their own beloved artists, molding into their own unique sound. Hamelin is compared to Counting Crows and Coldplay on one hand, and Collective Soul and Tom Petty on the other.
Four down-to-earth guys make up the band: Ross Newell-lead vocals, rythym guitarist, piano, harmonica; Jonathan Brown-backing vocals, drummer; Garrett Thornton-backing vocals, lead guitartist, piano; and Adam Lynn-backing vocals, bassist. In the three years they have been together, Hamelin continues to bring more sounds, lyrics and instruments to the stage.
After the release of their first album "Paintings on the Wall" in the summer of 2005, which made it’s way into local radio stations, listeners overflowed the request lines with requests to hear the band with that "gotta get away" song (Whispers). Newcoming and loyal fans retreat to see Hamelin, more than doubling merchandise sales with each annual venue. Quickly selling over 1,500 CD’s on their debut album, Hamelin is looking to follow up that success, with dates set to record in the fall of 2006.
Bringing their music to listeners in Mississippi, Florida, Atlanta, Pennsylvania, Hamelin is on the move, Being played on out-of-state radio stations even before their arrival.
