Anna Hamilton Left Part of Her Heart in Barcelona

Hailing from a small town in Kansas, Anna Hamilton has made her way up to the big leagues. Her latest single, “Me For Barcelona,” showcases her earthy, acoustic tones and is already delighting listeners across the globe.

Hamilton’s journey began at just 14, when she began playing songs around the campfire for friends and family. She has transitioned from a guitar and banjo into an acoustic indie alternative pop, while maintaining her homespun, real sound. Hamilton has proven herself as both a singer-songwriter and a storyteller, making a name for herself on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. She also debuted on season 2 of NBC’s “Songland,” earning her even more recognition.

Bet the sky was pouring rain

Picturing where you would stay

In the city

Where you first let go of me

Why’d you have to choose

Why’d I have to lose

God I’m trying

To forget you were mine

“Me For Barcelona” explores feelings of heartbreak and loneliness after a breakup. These lyrics encapsulate the broken feeling, and how the city where love once blossomed became the city where it was lost.

Fans of Alex Porat or Jada Facer should check out Anna Hamilton for her acoustic, grounded tracks.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
