New York City based (and Boise born and raised) singer, songwriter, and cellist Erin Hall has been sashaying the city streets for more than a decade.  Known for her genre-blending style and theatrical flair, Hall has graced stages from NYC’s Joe’s Pub and BAM Café to World Cafe Live in Philadelphia and the Visual Arts Collective in Boise, Idaho. She has been featured on WNYC’s New Sounds, Broad City Live, and has opened for the Portland Cello Project and Tig Notaro, among others. Erin Hall has independently released Great Blue (2019) and two acclaimed albums under the name Erin and Her Cello. Her most recent release is her most personal work to date: “Lullaby of 55” — a heartfelt tribute to her late father, Richard Hall.

Written as a lullaby to ease her father to sleep in his final days, “Lullaby of 55” traces the familiar path along Idaho’s Highway 55, from Boise to the family’s beloved cabin at Jug Mountain Ranch near McCall. The track is now available on all streaming platforms, following an exclusive Bandcamp release in late March.

“Lullaby of 55” was featured in Idaho Public Television’s series “Idaho In Song,” part of the Idaho Experience, Season 8, episode 5. The episode was shown on Idaho Public Television and is currently streaming online. 

Erin Hall’s previous album, Great Blue (self-released 2019), defies easy categorization, jumping from latin, funk, jazz and blues, to French pop. Her interest in French culture came from living in Belgium for a year on a Rotary Exchange scholarship. Her lyrics, whether in French or English, tell stories about the ordinary details of city life, conquering the monotony of a nine to five job, and discovering the beauty of nature in unexpected places — like the pond in Central Park where she spots the majestic Great Blue Heron. 

The singer, songwriter, and cellist is often backed by her six-piece band consisting of keys, drums, percussion, sax, and backing vocals. Great Blue featured musicians Aya Kato, Gabe Shuford, Adam Enright, Lars Jacobsen, Jacquelene Acevedo and John Bollinger. Past shows include: Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Joe’s Pub, Ars Nova, (le) Poisson Rouge, Rockwood Music Hall, The Greene Space at WNYC, World Cafe Live (Philly), Visual Arts Collective (Boise), The Jewelbox Theater (Seattle), and Alberta’s Pub (Portland).
