ONLINE: Doug Hamilton

press release: Doug has pre-recorded his concert on our stage.

Douglas Hamilton is a writer and singer of quirky songs in the tradition of Tom Lehrer and Jake Thackray. From the sing-along catchiness of "Must Have Chocolate" to the unexpected philosophical insights of "Your Father's Underwear", Doug puts his finger on what's terrifyingly funny about our world and just keeps probing. He has a way of making you laugh AND making you think. In performance Doug moves between piano and guitar, and in one number he actually plays both at once! 

After living in Madison for 18 years, Doug moved to England in 2007, where he performed with the bluegrass band Appalachia and Old Time string band The Buffalo Gals, holding down the low end on stand-up bass. Now back in the states, Doug currently hails from the Twin Cities area.

Learn more about Doug and find links to his music on our Virtual Concerts page.

Due to COVID-19, the Coffeehouse's physical space at the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center continues to be closed in support of social distancing. We are bringing you a live or prerecorded concert each Friday during this new way of life as we continue to support folk music in our community.

The Hog is a volunteer operated cooperative. Musicians also volunteer their talents. At the physical Coffeehouse, we have Phillup the Pig, a "pass the hat" ceramic piggy bank for collecting donations that go to the musicians. A Donate button appears on each concert's page using PayPal. The donations will be divided between the performer and the Wil-Mar Neigborhood Center. Both performers and the Center have seen reduced income during the pandemic. Both need your support, so please give generoulsy. The Hog and Wil-Mar each are 501(c)3 charitable organizations.
