Acoustic roots and blues slide, heavy-fingered picking and strumming and the sweet sound of a brass slide on a steel guitar.
Bio / Background
Manitoba Hal is a songwriter whose sound is rooted in the delta and piedmont styles of the blues. He tempers his finger picking style with a sharp sense of humour and gritty lyrics punctuated by the smooth slide of a veteran blues master. Like anyone whose name is a place, Manitoba Hal wears his love for his roots on his sleeve. But those roots aren't just in the prairie soil. Hal's got a songwriter's roots in eerie folk - murder ballads and killer floods - and a player's roots in the deep, dark, fixin' to die blues. This is a man who can sing the word "lonesome" like he means it, and no mistake.
"With a voice that can soothe one moment and launch into howling blues refrains the next, Manitoba Hal's performance was incredible...unassuming, simply excellent blues entertainment." - Dawn M. Barker - Carlyle Observer
Hal has been living on the road on and off since 1998 and logged over 100,000 kms and almost 400 shows since October 2002.
