Bio

Decades vaporize in the blink of an eye, but the memories are still clear as a foggy mirror after a hot shower. Only now, the steam is coming off the stage, and the reflection is thirty years in the music business and thousands of miles, shining in the eyes of  fans around the world.

Reggie Hall got his first guitar for his birthday, at age six.  Karen” was her name, and with a tiny amplifier, he began playing concerts on the front porch to the unsubscribed neighbors, warming up with songs like “The Little Black Egg”, by The Nightcrawlers, and moving on to more complex hits, like “Gloria”, from Van Morrison and Them, and “Try A Little Kindness”, by Glenn Campbell, (who later recorded a hit with one of Reg's titles).

Reggie’s first paid gig came at age 11, playing for an American Legion luncheon. He received eight bucks for that gig, (under the table, of course), and from that point on, destiny became momentum.  Talent shows, awards, televised fundraisers, playing in bars at age 16, high school dances, frat parties...setting up the band on the top deck
of the Heggenbart’s patio boat...oh...and Millie’s house. Yea baby, Millie’s house!

Then came the road years.  All over the Northwest.  Ski resorts up and down the Sierras, including Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo Cantina in South Lake Tahoe, playing and singing with Aaron Hagar.  A gas station oasis in a ‘56 Ford school bus...sleeping in the trunk of a ‘65 Ford LTD...oh, the glitter of it all.  Playing every venue from country clubs to county fairs, Reggie picked up licks along the way from guitar gods like Dickey Betts, Santana, and Larry Carlton, banging out renditions of “Free Bird”, and Frampton’s “Do You Feel Like We Do”.

Reggie polished his chops not only on the guitar, but in the entertainment business, touring and recording with band members from such music legends as Dave Mason, America, Natalie Cole, and Three Dog Night.  Sessions with yet unknown stars and gold record producers, led to countless hours in world-class studios where the likes of Stevie Wonder, John Lennon, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Mick Jagger, Gwen Stephani, yes, and even Elvis haunt the hallowed halls.

“Yea, I did Hollywood.  Gimme a roadhouse any day.”

In 1986, Reggie started recording all his own tracks.  Through the miracle of modern technology, he covers all the horns of Steve Winwood’s “Roll With It”, and his screaming organ in Spencer Davis’ “Gimme Some Loving”.  He plays all the drums and Latin percussion in Santana’s “Smooth”, while belching out Rob Thomas’ guttural lyrics and playing all those searing Carlos Santana guitar solos LIVE!

At the show, Reggie Hall brings it all.  All those years.  All those miles.  All the musical flavors seasoning that Rock & Roll stew.  You want Willie?  You get Willie.  You want Clapton?  He’ll give you Clapton.  Jimmy Buffett… Toby Keith… Aerosmith… Skynyrd… Matchbox 20… Los Lonely Boys… Counting Crows…  In reflection, go see the Reggie Hall show live.  You won’t believe your ears.
