Dan Hall

Singer Songwriter

Dan Hall’s music has been heard by hundreds of thousands of fans, from his maritime concerts to the countless souls who have heard his golden voice in cathedrals and sacred places like the Cross in the Woods.  Add in tens of thousands of school kids- with whom he has written “Story Song Creations” for over a decade- and you have a talent that has never been equaled.  

Dan’s historical verses have chronicled the Sit Down Strike and the sinking of the famous Edmund Fitzgerald.  His music graces nearly a half dozen PBS documentaries as well as five music CDs.  He has opened or shared the stage with Bill Clinton, Tom Paxton, John McCutcheon, Christine Lavin, Josh White Jr., Michael Smith and many others. He has written and produced soundtrack music for a feature film co-starring Ernest Borgnine and his television jingles are often heard on shows and commercials all around the Great Lakes. In addition, Dan was the musical director, composer and host for the PBS television broadcast of The Union City Radio Hour .

“I was born in 1958 so I grew up during the sixties and seventies in Flint, Michigan. Lots of changes took place there and around the world during that time—mostly in ways we relate to one another. My first musical memories are of the radio hits of the fifties. I was hooked. Then a musical revolution ensued in the sixties and seventies that continues to influence the shapes and topics of my songs. Music is my joy and passion. I love writing songs and I love singing them."
