Hyde Park Theatre will present Driving All Night: How to Raise a Kid and Survive as a Broke-ass Musician as FronteraFest’s BYOV (Bring Your Own Venue) programming. It is a one-man show about parenting, written and performed by Ed Hamell.

Every parent knows the struggles and triumphs that come with raising their kid. How do you do it when your day job requires you to travel endlessly across the country, stopping nightly to sing protest songs and tell dirty jokes for strangers in crowded dive bars?

Enigmatic folk-punk proletariat and legendary touring musician Ed Hamell - aka Hamell on Trial, winner of the coveted Edinburgh Fringe Festival Herald Angel Award - has driven over a million miles, pinballing across the map over the a career spanning 17 critically-acclaimed albums. Hundreds of thousands of those miles have been shared with his son, Detroit, who started spending weekends and summers on tour when he was six years old.

The show alsoexplores the tumultuous real life world of a working musician and artistic renegade and features video design and projection by director/producer Mike Henry.
