Last summer, Billboard premiered the track "No Good" off the forthcoming album Out of My Head calling Hamish Anderson "singer, songwriter and guitar hero". He was recently named one of Total Guitar's Top 10 Best New Guitarists in 2018, and American Songwriter calls his music an "adrenaline-charged blues explosion".

2019 is set to be quite a year for Hamish Anderson, and what better way to jump into it than a tour in his home country with Gary Clark Jr.

US Date

5 May - Beale Street Music Festival, Memphis, TN

Named one of Total Guitar's Top 10 Best New Guitarists in 2018 two years after being named one of Yahoo! Music's "Top Ten Best New Artist," Australia's roots rock artist, Hamish Anderson is teeing up his new album for 2019. Hamish released his critically acclaimed debut album, Trouble in 2016 (with the title track, "Trouble", still appearing on Spotify's Official Blues & Roots Rock Playlist from April 2016). He supported the album with 11 performances at SXSW (2017); and has opened for BB King, Vintage Trouble, Drive By Truckers, Jared & The Mill, Low Cut Connie; and toured the US while appearing at US festivals such as BottleRock, Firefly, Echo Park Rising, Mountain Jam, High Sierra, Big Blues Bender, Summerfest, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival and Canada's RBC Bluesfest Ottawa. He's a Taco Bell "Feed the Beat" artist and was featured on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic with his single, "U", which was profiled also on NPR Music's Heavy Rotation along with the entire album, Trouble.

In 2018, NPR also profiled Hamish's album a year after it was released on Here & Now/DJ Sessions via Anne Litt from KCRW. In 2018, he released the first single from his new album ("No Good" which appears on Nu-Blue Spotify Playlist), did a 3-week festival tour in Europe, performed at Bottlerock Napa and toured the East Coast opening for The Main Squeeze. He ended 2018 by opening for Doyle Bramhall II at a sold out show in LA. His recent single, "Breaking Down", was released on All Things Go where they stated: "the young artist clearly knows the path from nostalgia to the future." He will be appearing at Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, TN in May 2019 and preparing for another tour of Europe in late September 2019.
