MORE!, the current project from Tom Hamilton is also his oldest. Hamilton (Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Brothers Past, Ghost Light) was still in high school when he began writing songs with his brother Jim Hamilton and friends Joe D’Amico and Tom McKee. By the end of their college years life had pulled them all in different directions. When the world shut down in 2020, Hamilton found himself in his studio with no band or inspiration. The solution to both came as the four boys reconnected. With the addition of drummer Scotty Zwang, MORE! was born.
This group of artists combine elite songwriting skills with an incredible sense of adventure in improvising within those songs. They’re live debut came in early 2023 when they were invited to share the bill with Grateful Dead offshoot, Dead & Company at their destination event, Playing in the Sand. MORE! wowed 5,000 fans in attendance with two shows of their unique sound, and followed with a sold out hometown debut at Philadelphia’s Ardmore Music Hall.
