CAIN HALL BIOGRAPHY
Small town America and big dreams go hand in hand. It's the place were integrity, hard work, and determination is not only taught – It's a way of life. Mix that with a huge passion for life, and you get country music newcomer Cain Hall.
Raised in the small rural community of Hymera, IN Hall took these ingredients and applied them to his first love, Music. He began playing guitar at the age of 16, and over the next four years performed two hundred shows while attending Indiana State University majoring in Music Business. At the start of his senior year in college, Hall made a gutsy move and headed to Nashville, TN - the playground for the best of the best in music.
Arriving in Music City, it didn't take long for Hall to submerge himself in many different aspects of the industry. For two years he performed hundreds of shows on the Lower Broadway Strip, which is widely know as a place for musicians and artists to hone their skills. He also landed acting roles including a principle role in Blake Shelton's number 1 song and video “Ol' Redâ€. Other video roles include parts in Cletus T Judd's “ I Wanna Be A Plowboy†video and The Warren Brother's video “Sell A Lot Of Beerâ€. Continuing to sing and write songs, Hall took a job selling merchandise on the road for Loretta Lynn.
“Working with Loretta Lynn on the road was an experience that I will never forget!†says Hall. “I got to experience the music business from a completely different perspective as a behind the scenes person. It was incredible to learn the ins and outs of the business from a country music icon!â€
In May of 2006 Hall signed his first record deal with American Roots Records as a guitar player/ low harmony vocalist in the band TelluRide. As an original member of the band, he also co-wrote two songs on their debut album “Four Square Milesâ€. One of the songs “Hope Happens Here†was a project with the Riley Children's Foundation, which supports the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. As an Indiana native, this project was very special to him. At the Foundation's request, Hall co-wrote the song that was to be used for the Foundation's fund raising campaign for the hospital. A powerful video of the song is on the homepage of www.rileykids.org.
With years of experience as a well-rounded performer and entertainer, Hall was primed and ready to pursue a project on his own. He parted ways with TelluRide in January of 2009 – Hall lives in Nashville, TN where he continues writing songs and working on his solo career.
