Tom Hamilton

We had the distinct pleasure of welcoming Tom Hamilton to the church in February of 2018 with his band Ghost Light. It took a while, but he finally made it back! Grab those tickets early. Tom Hamilton's guiding creative principle is very simple: he doesn't like to repeat himself artistically. For the Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter and guitarist, this mindset stems from a deep-seated motivation to keep pushing himself as an artist — to delve into different lyrical themes and musical detours, to explore potentially uncomfortable and unfamiliar emotional places. "That's a thrilling prospect,” says Hamilton. “To find the deeper things inside and to open up those doors that I didn't even know were there." As founding member of Brothers Past, American Babies, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Ghost Light and Billy and The Kids, Hamilton has written/recorded roughly a dozen albums and EPs and shared the stage with everyone from John Mayer to Bob Weir to Billy Strings. Hamilton’s debut record as a solo artist will be released in late 2025. 5 Points Music Foundation is recognized 501c3 whose mission is to pursue the power of sound through live events that support access to music therapy, hearing loss advocacy, and accessibility initiatives.
