Tiny Desk: Anthony Hamilton

In the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina, Anthony Hamilton’s soulful sound was nurtured within the walls of local churches. Witnessing this Grammy-winning artist perform, it becomes evident that containing his deep, soulful energy is a greater challenge than letting it burst forth in song.

Hamilton, alongside his acclaimed backup group, The Hamiltones, offers more than just a musical performance. Their concerts are a blend of emotional release, romantic rejuvenation, and spiritual revival. Each show is a unique journey, transcending the boundaries of a typical concert.

What sets them apart is their ability to transform large venues into a personal, intimate experience. This is especially true in smaller settings, where their warm, resonant harmonies create an atmosphere of closeness and communal joy. This makes intimate venues the perfect stage for their heartfelt and soul-stirring performances.

In this blend of concert, couples’ retreat, and spiritual session, Hamilton and The Hamiltones don’t just perform; they connect deeply with their audience, proving that soul music can indeed shrink spaces and bring people closer together.
