DRIVING ALL NIGHT: How to Raise a Kid and Survive as a Broke-Ass Musician
Hamell brought his son Detroit since the age of 6 in every shit hole, piss-filled, beer-drenched saloon in this country.
Coast to coast 13 times, more than 200,000 miles, hundreds of gigs with side excursions to the Grand Canyon, Comic Con, Mall of America, roadside attractions, sketchy motels, the Civil Rights Museum, Sun Studios, Las Vegas extravaganzas, downtown Manhattan Anti-folk clubs, tours with national acts, diners and often sleeping in the car at truck stops, all the while his ol’ man screaming about injustice. And pussy. Narrow escapes from racists and Detroit, honing his comedy and poetry skills while making cash deals with the intoxicated at the merch table. And guess what? The kid turned out fucking great. Go figure. Since most people come to Hamell shows for parenting tips come on out and get a crash course!
Very important note! Detroit was co-parented. Detroit’s mom was excellent, a woman of great integrity.
It was a 50/50 deal. Hamell gets along great with his ex – and he’d like to keep it that way.
