AFTERBUZZ TV – AfterBuzz TV’s Spotlight On edition, is a long form interview series featuring Actors and TV personalities discussing their roles and shows as well as their thoughts, passions and journeys. In this episode host Jason Ikeler interviews Hamish Anderson.
Hamish’s bio: Having made a name for himself across the local scene in Melbourne, Australia for his impressive live show that encompasses a mix of blues, rock and folk with moments of loud, electric blues-soaked songs as well as delicate acoustic balladry, Hamish Anderson’s debut EP was released independently in November 2013, it comes armed with a host of noteworthy tunes and a songwriting and vocal maturity well beyond his twenty-three years.
After topping the Triple J Unearthed charts in the pop/rock category with a demo track, Hamish picked up his guitar and headed to Sydney to record a five-track EP in BJB Studio with producer Eric J. Dubowsky (Art vs. Science, Weezer, Bluejuice). The EP was engineered by Jean-Paul Fung (Birds of Tokyo, Last Dinosaurs, Silverchair) and mastered by Brian Lucey (The Black Keys, Dr John, The Shins).
After hearing a few of Hamish’s songs, Rami Jaffee (keyboardist for Foo Fighters and founding member of The Wallflowers) stopped past the studio (while on tour in Australia with Foo Fighters) to record organ and piano, alongside bass player Rob Calder (Angus & Julia Stone, Kanye West) and drummer James Hauptman (Bluejuice).
Hamish has based himself in the United States since March 2014 and has just completed a national tour consisting of 18 dates (including Nashville’s 12th & Porter; New York’s Rockwood Stage; Seattle’s The Crocodile; and both The Viper Room & Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles).
For now Hamish is keen to work on an EP-basis, saying “I very much like the idea of releasing EP’s as little snap shots of where I’m at musically.” And he isn’t wasting any time, having already headed back in to the studio to record new tracks with Krish Sharma (Rolling Stones and Counting Crowes credits) at Henson studios in Los Angeles. The next EP release date is September, 2014.
