Summertime Blues------------------
Enjoy the sounds of acoustic guitar, mandolin  and vocal harmonies playing popular songs spanning many decades and genres ranging from rock, folk, country and more.
  You might find us playing at various markets, events, music festivals, pubs or anywhere music is enjoyed. You might even run into us playing on the streets of Fredericton from time to time so feel free to say hi. 
Residing on the east coast of Canada, Ralph Hamilton is a multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter who enjoys writing in different styles and genres. Performing in different venues in Canada and the U.S. as a drummer for over 30 years, he now enjoys singing and playing guitar at local venues around his home town of Fredericton, New Brunswick. In his early days he studied Music and the Teacher at Saint Thomas University and continues to teach today. He enjoys writing and recording at his home studio, playing solo and duo acts and playing bass and singing lead and harmony vocals with some close friends. Favorite lyric-"It don't make much sense, that common sense don't make no sense no more" John Prine.

Chris Browne
Chris Browne is an artist, musican, teacher and tea drinker.  He once said "I wasn't born out East but I got here as soon as I could".  You might know him as Sideshow Bob from the Downtown Blues Band, but he loves his mandolin just as much as his guitar!

HAMILTON BROWNE
Well our Christmas and Saint Patrick's shows are done and we had a blast. Between solo (Ralph Hamilton), duo (Hamilton Browne) and trio (3 of a Kind) shows it was quite busy with 9 shows in March alone (3 on Saint Patrick's Day) so now we are gearing up for spring, summer and fall. You'll find us at various private events, markets, festivals, pubs or even busking so please say hi if you see us. We are also in the process of putting together a full band with a drummer and bass player. More show dates and announcements will be posted on all of our pages. We play hundreds of popular songs as well as a few originals here and there. Without you we couldn't do what we love to do so thanks for sharing and coming out! Big Love!
