At the behest of local promoter (and The Hut talent buyer) Mo Lutz, the Humboldt County, CA-based blues guitarist and singer-songwriter Anna Hamilton is in Athens for a monthlong residency that will find her at two local venues during the first week of January. On Saturday, Jan. 4., you can catch the captivating Hamilton, who has been performing in some capacity since her teenage years, having shared the stage with a bevy of blues legends, at Hendershot’s. The following Tuesday at Nowhere Bar, she’ll perform as part of Fester Hagood’s ongoing Tuesday Night Confessional series. Political types should be sure to chat Hamilton up after the show: In addition to music, Hamilton is a longtime radio talk show host and a well-known marijuana activist.
