From Dive Bars to Main Stages: 71 Local Concerts Lighting Up Birmingham this June
Reading time: 12 minutes
I’m at a loss for words about the death of Jason Hamric. Hamric positively impacted the lives of *hundreds* of Birmingham musicians & creatives – myself included – by encouraging us to find our voices, to be honest and kind to others and most importantly, to create. He was a light and a joy, and he will be greatly missed. If you’re reading this and you’re friends with a local musician, make sure to give them extra big hugs. And maybe take a moment to honor Hamric by going to a local show – you’ve got a lotta options 🙂
