On this tour, Jason Hamacher will share personal experiences of the people, places, and events that changed his life in Syria before the eruption of war, with a focus on his latest album, "Forty Martyrs: Armenian Chanting From Aleppo." He will tell stories, play vinyl records, and show photographs from his forthcoming book and explain how he, a punk drummer from DC, ended up with an archive of Syrian history.
