about rosS Hamlin
Thank you for your interest in learning about studying with me! I started playing guitar when I was twelve, having studied trumpet and piano previously. My first guitar was an old, beat-up nylon string Goya that my mom had stashed away in the closet. Initially studying classical, I was given my first electric the following year and for the next four years I continued studying classical as well as electric, for years taking two lessons per week.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in 1996 from Boston's Berklee College of Music, and over the years have studied with many teachers in several traditions. Formerly a resident artist at Mobius, a 20-year-old Boston mainstay for experimental art, I also produced works by over 300 Boston artists as director of the Boston non-profit arts collective Open Faucet Productions and performed frequently all over the New England and Minneapolis area; a tradition I'm continuing in New Mexico as well.
I'm the founder and Artistic Director of Little Wing Productions and started the music education and rock band programs at Candyman Strings and Things. I'm also a member of the six piece post-fusion jazz/funk band Things That Are Heard, the fifteen piece uncategorizableOut of Context and the spaz-metal OverduO and i also do occasional gigs at galleries and restaurants as a jazz or classical guitar soloist, 1/3 of a jazz trio or various forms of beats/loops/electronica under the name clawdeuS.
