Walt Hamburger used to be best known for his work in The Hamburgers, a punk rock trio on My Brother Stole My Records (MBSMRecords). That all changed in 2014 when Walt signed with One Week Records and Barely Standing Records (2015). Now Walt's has gained international attention as a solo act as well as locally playing with Walt Hamburger & The Young Guns. You may also know Walt for his time in Honor Amongst Thieves, Obvious Man Hands, Caution To The Wind, Babes In The Wood, The Gumchewers, Mike Pilz & The Delayed Reactions, 3 Foot C**t, League of Concerned Scientists, Lobot's Task, The Where's Marys, Endless Days Sleepless Nights, or Thief.
In October 2014, Walt was offered a record deal by Joey Cape (Lagwagon) on One Week Records. Walt went to San Francisco in January 2015 to record his album. Touring of US/Canada is planned to follow the release of the record. "From the rough mixes I've heard so far, I'm very excited. I think this is the best stuff I've ever done. Joey got the best out of me and collaborating with him was a truly special opportunity." -Walt (after returning from the studio in 2015)
Walt has released several recordings in his 18+ years of performing. His most recent release was "Easy Target," released on MBSMRecords in August 2014. You can purchase copies of this recording at any of Walt's shows. Walt's 2010 MBSMRecords release "Work In Progress" is available online at amazon, iTunes, and more; as well as being available at his shows.
Walt has been described as an entertainer. He brings the energy and humor associated with years in the punk rock scene to his acoustic performances. Walt's songs range from heart-felt ballads to rock 'n roll and everything in between. He will always engage with the crowd, especially during his set.
WAPL's Rick & Len's quote on Walt: "It was just as entertaining time as I have had in Appleton at any point in my life."
In 2014, Walt's popularity increased significantly thanks to exposure at Appleton's Mile of Music festival, as well as big shows with Joey Cape (Lagwagon), Chris Cresswell (The Flatliners), Kristopher Roe (The Ataris), Richie Ramone (The Ramones), & Cory Chisel...just to name a few. He was also featured in a YouTube video created by Lawrence University about Appleton, WI.
Walt takes donations at shows for local animal rescues. Donate at the next show and portions will go to Orphan Animal Rescue & Sanctuary as well as Valley Cats Cat & Kitten Rescue. Every cent helps save lives!
