Low-Country Messiahs

Low-Country Messiahs

The Low-Country Messiahs is the musical project of Sub Pop recording artist Green Magnet School alumni Robert Hamilton. He has released two full-length albums and appears on several compilations. Hamilton plays cigar box guitars using open tunings and bottleneck slide. The music has been characterized variously as primitive rock, psych folk, and ambient blues.

Borrowing stylistically from Delta blues, hokum, early rock 'n' roll, American folk music revival, Nuggets-era psychedelia, and African-American spirituals, the music leans towards lo-fi experimental textures and soundscapes.

The Low-Country Messiahs made their live debut in 2004 as the opening act for Seekonk. Other appearances have included supporting Ditty Bops and Blanche.

Hamilton is featured in "Songs Inside the Box", a PBS documentary by film maker Max Shores.
