Ed Hamell is American punk rock, ‘anti-folk’ and spoken word musician and a visual artist from Syracuse, New York. Hamell addresses poignant and controversial issues, but with a comic edge. Known for rapid and powerful strumming on his heavily amplified 1937 Gibson L-00 acoustic guitar, Hamell's musical styling is as far from traditional folk music as it is from the typical drum-heavy electric guitar ridden sounds of traditional punk music.
