Driven by passion, Anthony Hall delivers beautiful acoustic Music.

Tonight, I had the privilege to speak with a new found artist of mine. Thanks to the lovely JR and his radio show, New Music Inferno, on blog talk radio. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/newmusicinferno

Anthony Hall is his name. The acoustic guitar is his game. This young man is one musician to watch for. By speaking with Anthony, I had the opportunity to ask him a few questions. One of which, is my favorite question to ask all Artists I have the chance to speak with. I asked Anthony, what is one thing that he would like new listeners and his current fans, to know about him and his music. Anthony Hall then explained to me that he is extremely passionate about music. He further explained to me that, he sees his fans as friends. He feels like the label of fans is not an accurate description of his followers. Anthony is compassionate to his friends and admirably passionate about his music. What drives for better music than passion? Not much. Anthony also shared with me, that he started writing poems and songs at the age of 7 or 8. He mentioned, they were not very good. Yet, what 7 or 8 year old writes a masterpiece? I don't know any. This tells me there has been a drive to his passion from a very young, tender age. His young attempts at words, led him to develop an extreme passion for music. Anthony took an instant liking to the guitar, so he picked it up when he was a mere 15. Self taught, he attempted to learn cover songs, yet some how didn't have the patience to ever learn a full cover. Anthony said he would learn one or two chords from a cover and that was about it. There was a drive inside of him, that led him to write original material. He had words, and people for inspiration. Anthony took his drive and his passion on a road that is leading him in big places. With admirable qualities, and support of the "original 2o" Anthony Hall, is one singer/song writer that has only just begun a life's long journey.

There are several listen worthy tunes on Anthony's myspace music page to give you an understanding of his sound. His voice is tame. Listening to his acoustic guitar is soothing to the soul. Check out this artist, his music is worth it. My personal favorite on his pop out play list is "Praying for Rain." A song he penned about a girl he felt intimately for, beyond friendship, before he ever acted on his feelings. This song and the meaning behind the lyrics, make this such a beautiful, heart felt song. I absolutely love it, and feel it to my core. The other song I would like to mention that has really touched me, is "Friends."
Such a lovely tune, about love and friendship. Go listen, you will not be disappointed. www.myspace.com/anthonyhallacoustic

Anthony Hall seems to be finding his musical path, as he explained that he is maturing in his sound. He is very confident in his upcoming release due to this internal growth. So much so, that he offered to give his current album away,"She Was Summer," for free.
