If Jimi Hendrix had grown up in eastern Kentucky he may have sounded a lot like Dean Hall. Hall’s infusion of intense guitar wrangling, extreme vocal range, and clever, masterful songwriting creates a unique sound that easily spans the genres of rock, blues, and country. His songwriting roots run deep; his father is the legendary country music Hall of Fame member, Tom T. Hall. “Polished! Hot! Absolutely incredible! Will blow your mind!†— Dion, KLOS, Los Angeles, CA His unique look and musical wares landed Hall a supporting role in the DreamWorks film "The Last Castle" starring Robert Redford and James Gandolfini. He also wrote, produced, and sang "Chiseled in Stone" for the movie and soundtrack. Not bad for a guy who started as an extra in the movie. His first lines were with Redford.
Hall has become one of the southeast’s favorite entertainers. In 1998 Winston Cup Racing tapped him to perform on the NASCAR circuit. The NASCAR crowd loved his intense guitar driven sound. He was consistently drawing over-capacity crowds of 10,000 - 18,000 people in the infields as the only performer on the show. Hall’s natural athletic ability also landed him another opportunity while on the NASCAR tour; when he wasn’t playing music, he was Jimmy Spencer’s jackman for the 1999 Winston Cup season. “…musically speaking, he scared the hell out of me.†—Texas Blues Magazine, Houston, TX Hall has two CD’s on his independent label, Python Records, (available at CD Baby) and he’s currently writing and recording songs for his third.
