Moorestown DeCafe presents Trina Hamlin on Friday, Oct. 21, at 8:15 p.m. at 395 Kings Highway, Moorestown. An awesome guitar and blues harmonica player with a rich, powerful voice, Hamlin reveals raw passion, mixing elements of R&B, blues and rock with grace and apparent ease. She seamlessly moves from guitar to piano with self-accompaniment on harmonica leaving many who have seen her wondering what she can’t do. Regarded as one of the best harmonica players around, she presents a driving, sensuous rhythm in her performance, reawakening audiences to the art of the instrument. Her unique combination of ballads, folk-rock and blues has earned her a steady national following. Trina tours full-time throughout the US and Europe. Additionally, she is a much sought after harmonica player and percussionist, accompanying numerous nationally recognized singer/songwriters in the studio and live on stage.
Hamlin holds a degree in professional music from Berklee College in Boston, was chosen as a “most wanted new artist” by the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and has performed on The Late Show with Conan O’Brien. In addition, her music has been chosen for TV shows and movies including “Dawson’s Creek,” “Tale Lights”, MTV’s “Real World” and ABC Family’s “Beautiful People.” She has also shared the stage with Taj Majal, Charlie Musslewhite, John Hiatt and Ricki Lee Jones, to name a few.
“Trina Hamlin’s music smolders sweetly just before it sets the place on fire. Add in that irresistibly twinkling grin and you’ve got the foundation for a wonderful time.” Marilyn Rea Beyer, WUMB
