- Matevž Šalehar – Hamo
Hamo & Tribute 2 Love, a music group from Ljubljana, Slovenia, came into existence in 2006 and it’s still alive and rockin’. The band plays blues, soul and ‘the-middle-of-the-road’ rock music.
The band’s original lineup is five skilled Slovenian musicians who have been part of the Slovenian rock and blues scene since the early 1990’s. In 2013 Matej Mrsnik, ex-guitarist of the worldwide-known group Laibach has joined the band.
In April 2013 Tribute 2 Love released their highly acclaimed album „2“, featuring diverse songs, ranging from blues to country to funky style and back. The album was described by the critiques in the Slovenian press as „geographically set in Ljubljana but mentally in the US’s southern states“ in places like „Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, New Orleans, Memphis etc.“ The music can be compared to early ZZ Top blues and Gary Moore, they wrote. Tribute 2 Love count The Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker and more as their influence.
Hamo & Tribute 2 Love perform in various open-air festivals, rock clubs, music halls as well as TV and radio shows in Slovenia. Occasionally they are invited to perform in Austria, Croatia and Serbia.
Their music has nevertheless travelled around the world already: recently the guys received warm acclamations from blues fans in Caracas, Venezuela.

Uroš Primožič - Spretan: guitar, blues harp

Quotes
Rock’n’roll was invented by a bunch of guys who had too much time and too little to do. Today, rock’n’roll is created in circumstances where there’s no time and precisely because of that.
Even when we agree, we disagree. Rock’n’roll has always been about being an opposition.
We’re white guys singing about how hard it is to be black.
You might need somebody, someday…
