About Me

Myspace Contact Tables , hosting by Imgdump.net

Dobson Hall is quickly sweeping into the jamband, progressive rock, and christian music environments in one fell motion. They constantly stretch the technical and musical aspects of the art while at the same time wrap it with lyrics that cry for love as an experience and as an action towards our fellow humans, planet, and God. There's little left to say. They try to love more and more each day.

Every performance of Dobson Hall is recorded live and a CD, as well as soon to be released downloads is available. As technology allows, the recording of the band's concerts will be available, in raw form after each performance. If the listener would prefer to wait until after mixing is done, they can get a CD mailed to them shortly after the performance. Soon downloads and Podcasts will be available on line at www.dobsonhall.com.

The members of Dobson Hall are based out of Kansas City, Missouri.

Yuthon the Destroyer
