Hammock Theory is a jam band based in Greenville, SC. We draw inspiration from funk, rock, reggae, and jazz to deliver what has been best described as “feel good music”. Every Hammock Theory performance is unique and features original compositions, creative reinterpretations of classics, and innovative takes on popular hits.

The members of Hammock Theory have years of experience and many years of music together. The drummer, Aaron Bryant, and bassist, Jeremy Blake, have been playing together since 2017. In 2022 they met the guitarist and lead vocalist, Eric Mills and the rest is history. 

Aaron Bryant was born and raised in the Muscle Shoals music scene. Aaron is the powerful drummer framing out our grooves from the water's edge. His drumming skills took him from college bands at Auburn to the Portland music scene. With self-described influences from John Coltrane to Vivaldi to Rush to Ry Cooder to Esperanza Spalding, Aaron incorporates it all into his unique musicality and style. When Aaron isn't performing with the band, he can be found making secret recipe BBQ sauce, playing tunes with his talented sons, or collecting unique musical instruments.

Jeremy Blake was raised playing in the bluegrass gospel scene and being taught by the experience of players around him. Music was always a big part of his life but it wasn't until his second year at Brevard College that he doubled down and focused on music. In 2013 Jeremy had a construction accident that made him unable to play guitar while in a cast. This is when Jeremy discovered he could reach his fingers out just far enough to play bass. Once the cast was off Jeremy knew the bass was his instrument and he has pursued it since. Jeremy loves a good cantaloupe and Clemson football.
