Drew Hall 


I was born and raised in Queens, New York (lets go Mets!).  My father, Tom Hall, introduced me to music by way of the juke box at the Palace Diner in Queens.  I started playing guitar at twelve, when a friend of ours, Ted Ruben, gave me my first guitar, a Kimberly hollow body.  Soon after that my dad bought me a '69 Fender Telecaster reissue with his entire tax refund.

My first band was called Rasp, and we rocked the Ryan JHS 216 talent show.  I think I was 14.  My family moved to Arizona when I was 16, and I got involved in various bands and sideman projects. 

I was inspired to start playing the blues when watching Little Jr. with the Leisure Kings, and a few years later I joined the band as the bass player.  The blues kept calling, and I helped start Big Daddy D and the Dynamites with Darryl, Anton Teschner, and Jake Sammeli.  This time I got to play guitar and sing.
