GB would like to welcome Matt “The Hamma” Duhamel to the front lines, with his debut performance as a headlining resident DJ just a week away.  Here’s what he looks like in the dark:

No stranger to the GB stage, Hamma has been opening for the past year, and has been known to drop some very cool jams, including lounge mixes of Oasis and Collective Soul, as well as proven favorites like Bell Biv DeVoe’s Poison — mainly to get Ben and me fired up backstage, while we pound energy drinks, do some push-ups and dance like Turk from Scrubs.

Hamma has also been working the Boston club scene, billed as “DJ MD,” or “DJ Matty D”  (though with a name that almost contains “hamma” I don’t know why you’d even consider any other).  He’s made appearances at Suite, Felt, and Revolution Rock Bar.  The winner of the GrooveBoston Golden Hammer Award for Excellence in Party Rocking (GBGHAEPR), Hamma will be heading up the mix on October 30th at Sarah Lawrence College in NY, and future stops along the FaceRockers tour.
