Every once and a while, great artists on OurStage slip through the cracks and don’t get proper recognition. They do well but for some reason that winning channel spot continues to elude them. Maybe they just have bad luck, or maybe their competition is just too tough, but either way let’s take this moment to commemorate some of our best artists who have not been properly celebrated with a channel win. This will be my last blog post before I move on from OurStage, so I wanted to make sure that I gave some of my favorite OurStage musicians their just deserts before I moved on.
Be among the first to discover one of the hottest emerging bands on the country / americana charts, American Babies. Their self titled debut album vividly displays the raw talent of singer/songwriter Tom Hamilton. While still only in his 20’s, Hamilton’s lyrics channel the worldly knowledge of songwriting chameleons like Neil Young & Ryan Adams with a hint of Gram Parsons for good measure. Fans first discovered Tom Hamilton’s American Babies when their classic tune “Invite Your Friends” hit several top spots on the OurStage charts. Since then American Babies won performance slots at the Bonnaroo and SXSW music festivals as well as a featured track on the OurStage sampler CD. Check out our video & grab a glimpse of life on the road with these all American heart throbs. Get in the know and get TO know American Babies – check out their profile & join their fanclub.
