| Texas Blues Rocker Hamilton Loomis Tours U.S. For Album Release "If blues, soul, and rock can be said to form a triangle, you'll find Hamilton Loomis right in the center of it, " says Guitar Player Magazine. An apt description, as young Loomis is one of the young artists at the forefront of bringing blues-based American music into the 21st century and redefining it for a contemporary audience. Spanning youth and tradition, Loomis bridges the gap between generations of music-lovers both in the U.S. and around the world. Whereas similar aged acts like the Black Keys, Robert Randolph, and the White Stripes play American rock music with heavy blues influences, Loomis plays the inverse. His is an undeniably blues based artist escalating into what All Music Guide calls "…a mixed bag of modern blues, modern funk, and slick soul." Celebrating the release of his new album Get It Back, Loomis is again touring the U.S., throwing a CD release party in various cities as the critics continue to rave. "Loomis finds liberation in his axe; when he cuts loose, it has the transcendent roar of freedom, " praises No Depression. "Already establishing his trademark mélange of funk, blues, and rock, Loomis riffs with the bold self-confidence of his heroes." write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Jazz News :: home page |
