Press Reviews PERFORMING SONGWRITER: "Hamel's music also holds a close affinity to her fellow Texas songwriters, including the simple poetry of Lyle Lovett and the expressionist painter's musicality of Denice Franke. The personal qualities of her songs speak to every type of listener and the sweet blend of Celtic, country and folk music created here is fresh and invigorating."
