Ryan Hamilton

This album is the follow up to 2019's This Is The Sound, which received the Independent Music Award for Best Indie/Alt Rock Album. Nowhere To Go But Everywhere was written on a cross country road trip in the wake of Ryan's divorce, creating a deeply personal connection with the songs. Wicked Cool Records is owned by Stevie Van Zandt (E Street Band, Sopranos, Disciples Of Soul).

Small-town import Ryan Hamilton charms New York with folksy comic observations on big-city life, hot-air ballooning and going to Disney World alone.

The chorus to the title track here rather lends itself to reverie. “This is the sound of remembering” sings Ryan Hamilton on the first record from his Harlequin Ghosts. So, forgive the trip down memory lane, but reason number 2134 why music was better when I was a kid, is this.

One of cinema’s most dashing duos, real-life spouses Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier live their greatest on-screen romance in this visually dazzling tragic love story from legendary producer-director Alexander Korda. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars of the late eighteenth century, That Hamilton Woman is a gripping account of the scandalous adulterous affair between the British Royal Navy officer Lord Horatio Nelson and the renowned beauty Emma, Lady Hamilton, the wife of a British ambassador. With its grandly designed sea battles and formidable star performances, That Hamilton Woman (Winston Churchill’s favorite movie, which he claimed to have seen over eighty times) brings history to vivid, glamorous life.

Voted the number two big band playing in the mid-'00s by a Jazz Times Reader's Poll, the popular, Grammy nominated, L.A.-based ensemble the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra celebrated 20 years of maintaining and expanding the big band jazz tradition in 2005. As the adage goes, the live setting is where the spirit of jazz really happens, and this recording, Live at MCG – recorded over a four-day "residency" at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild in Pittsburgh in May 2004 – perfectly captures Clayton-Hamilton's spontaneous spirit.
