Hamish Anderson is an Australian blues rock guitarist, songwriter and singer. He has shared the stage with B.B. King. He has released two EPs : "Hamish Anderson" (2013) and "Restless" (2014). His debut album "Trouble" was released on 21 October 2016. He was the last person to open a show for B.B. King before he died. Hamish Anderson was born in 1991 and grew up in Melbourne, Australia.[8] He started learning guitar at the age of 12. At the age of 17, he started singing and songwriting. Anderson left his home town in Melbourne in 2014 to further his musical career in America. Anderson is a blues rock guitarist-singer-songwriter. In April 2013 he released a debut single, "Howl", which was taken from his self-titled extended play. The five-track EP was recorded at BJB Studio in Sydney with Eric J. Dubowsky (Art vs. Science, Weezer, Bluejuice) producing. "Howl" featured Rami Jaffee of the Foo Fighters. It was described as "encompasses a mix of blues, rock and folk with moments of loud, electric blues-soaked chords as well as delicate acoustic balladry, Hamish comes armed with a host of noteworthy tunes and a songwriting and vocal maturity well beyond his twenty-one years." The EP was released in November 2013. Anderson was the last artist to open for the late B.B. King. In spring 2016 he completed a 12-city tour opening for The Rides (featuring Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Barry Goldberg). In addition to these tours, he's performed over sixty shows in the US including eleven showcases during SXSW during 2017; as well as Vintage Trouble, Robert Cray, Los Lobos, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Wynonna Judd and Blues Traveler.
