On playing at Bay Shore with acclaimed singer-songwriter Edwin McCain, he said, “It feels great to be here, especially with Edwin McCain, and all his lovely crew and band.”
Hommel continued, “Edwin has such a great routine. He really knows how to navigate a night. He doesn’t work off a set-list, but he knows his catalog and he knows the stories that go along with it, and he always has new stories. There is always something very honest in Edwin’s delivery and his voice.”
Regarding his future plans, Hommel said, “Just in a few weeks, when the tour is done, I will be heading down to start recording the solo album. I’m going to do that record in two chunks, one in June and one in August at the Blackbird Academy in Nashville. I am lucky enough to have the Blackbird Academy as a great resource.”
His greatest musical influence was “The King of Rock and Roll” Elvis Presley. “Elvis has been my most potent of influences from the very beginning,” he said.
Hommel’s live performance at YMCA Boulton Center on Long Island was well-received by Digital Journal.
