Run On Sentence

January 23, 2009 In Laura Gibson, Run On Sentence

Run On Sentence & Laura Gibson get national attention.

We like to point out when our roster artists are in the national spotlight.

Just Yesterday, Run On Sentence’s “Stonewall” was featured on NPR’s well curated Song of the Day feature.

“On Oh When the Wind Comes Down, Hamman’s visions of folk music are realized with rich imagery and entrancing instrumentation, as he crafts vivid storylines and long strings of compelling narration. He slips and slides from one character to another throughout the record, his versatile voice and musical styles setting the scene.”

Meanwhile the lovely Laura Gibson is found gracing the pages of the fashionable Nylon Magazine in the latest issue:

“The Portland singer/ songwriter has been through a lot of Northern winters, which might be why her tunes are perfect for them – tingled melodies plucked from a nylon guitar, with the lulling pace of a mom singing her kids to sleep.”

Run On Sentence – “Wide Open Sky” (New)

Dustin Hamman resides in The Columbia Gorge, just outside of Lyle, Wa on an idyllic and rough-hewn 40 acre micro-winery. In this wild place he conjured up the songs which comprise Oh When The Wind Comes Down. The following video does a good job of relating the sense of place, backed by birdsong and breeze, that informs both the content of Dustin’s songs and character. Beyond enjoyment of the song, it’s worth watching to the end to catch Dustin’s remarks about glimpsing a rainbow while performing on camera; an endearing deflection which sums up Dustin’s unassuming point of view and gentle demeanor.

Run On Sentence Tours by Train

Dustin Hamman–also known as Run On Sentence–is taking to the rails to bring you his music. Here Dustin demonstrates his incredibly mobile touring rig: a guitar case with a skateboard truck screwed to the bottom and a petite suitcase with merch and essentials. I don’t think it could get anymore compact or environmentally conscious. Don’t miss him in your neck of the woods! (Tour dates in right sidebar, natch.)

Today marks the release of his wonderful Oh When The Wind Comes Down. Have a listen to the album sampler and treat yourself to this treasure in the HUSHshop:
