Biography:
Hamadryad is a group of musicians all driven by the same passion: musical creation. Their music tastefully blends progressive and classic rock, with a touch of cinematic vision, taking the listener on a musical adventure. Hamadryad’s musical mission is to take their audience on a journey that transcends passing trends.
Hamadryad loves to reinvent themselves, and with 3 successful albums, and several other musical projects under their belts, no two albums have had quite the same sound. Their music has been well received by both the public and the critics, and in turn, opened doors for them to play major festivals in both the US and Europe.
In June 2007, Hamadryad released their first live album – the much anticipated “Live in France”. With its help, the Canadian band gained notoriety and began receiving invitations to play at several high profile concerts and events around the world. In July of 2007 they were thrilled to open for the legendary Deep Purple at the Bell Center in Montreal, and again at the Pavilion de la Jeunesse in Quebec City.
Most recently, the members of Hamadryad have added even more ingredients to their ‘sound’, and their new album “Intrusion” is due to be released on Unicorn Digital in early 2010, ‘Intrusion’ is an impressive demonstration that this band is in constant evolution and their passion for music has not faded at all. Hamadryad has already confirmed dates in Europe, and plan to play extensively throughout 2010 to promote this brand new CD.
