Bonified movie and television star, Jon Hamm, revealed his affection for contemporary country music recently at Chicago’s Bub City bar on New Year’s Day. Hamm was in Chicago for the NHL’s Winter Classic and cheered on his hometown St. Louis Blues. In addition to the game, Hamm had quite a time at the Chicago-based BBQ and country music bar by singing numerous country songs for both himself and the bar’s patrons.

Jon Hamm’s notoriety primarily derives from his role as Don Draper in the award-winning TV show, Mad Men. Furthermore, Hamm also starred in films such as Baby Driver, Top Gunn: Maverick, and No Sudden Move. More recently, Hamm appeared in Taylor Sheridan’s Landman alongside Billy Bob Thorton and Demi Moore. As of now, the show has been wildly successful in its first season, and it seems Hamm is relishing in the success…As he should be.
Jon Hamm Can’t Escape The Screen
Jon Hamm might be well known on the big screen, but the man has also garnered some attention on your little one. On his celebratory night in Chicago, Jon Hamm went up on stage and sang a variety of country and pop songs. According to an Instagram post by Bub City, Hamm Sang Luke Combs’ “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places,” Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline,” and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song(Tipsy).”
Even though Hamm was scoring quite the suit, nothing about the performance was buttoned up. Instead, Hamm let his guard town and let the music and the venue’s energy take control. It’s not very often an A-list celebrity lets loose like this, so this is a surprising instance of vulnerability. That being so, Jon Hamm’s vitality and sheer glee are a refreshing site of sincerity. At face value, this was not some endorsement or prearranged performance. Rather, it was just Hamm soaking in what the night had to offer and launching himself into the New Year.
Lastly, Jon Hamm’s excitement partially stemmed from the St. Louis Blues’ six to two win over the Chicago Blackhawks on New Year’s Day at the annual Winter Classic.
