Live & Local is a free, community-centered music series celebrating the artists who live and create right here at home, with select Thursday evenings hosted by a different local musician bringing their own sound, collaborators, and creative vision to the stage. Each night features a full set from the host followed by an open, collaborative jam—no two nights the same, always free, always local, always live.

This is a pass-the-hat event—please help support and show your appreciation for the featured artist by contributing what you can.

Paul Hampsey is a Wakefield singer songwriter who has been performing solo and with various bands for years. His songs range from silly tales of giant houseplants to serious examinations on the state of the planet. He has recorded two solo albums and an album with his bandmates in Tractor. Live shows with the band are always a fun party with plenty of tunes to keep the dance floor hopping. Whether it's an introspective reflection on love or a straight ahead barn burner, Paul's songs are crafted with a sincere desire to reach others.

For the second half of the show, Paul will invite up some beloved friends and musicians to continue the party!
