Trace Hamilton is a Chicago-based singer, songwriter, and performer blending country, rock, and pop influences into a sound that’s built for live crowds. From acoustic bar gigs to festival stages and performances with his band Sonic Motel, Hamilton has earned a reputation for turning every set into a singalong.
Influenced by everyone from country music storytellers to riff-heavy, guitar-driven rock bands, his music focuses on strong hooks, honest lyrics, and the kind of songs that feel just as at home in a neighborhood bar as they do with the windows down on a summer drive.
No gimmicks, no borrowed accent—just great songs and a Midwest perspective.
