The "seeds" for Cricket Hill were planted during a long conversation one evening between Karl and Hal about "forgotten" music, the music that you don't hear on the radio, isn't usually played live, and most often can only be found on a dusty LP found in a thrift store bin or at a yard sale. Prior to Cricket Hill, Karl's and Hal's paths had crossed musically for years. Individually and collectively, they'd gone wherever the music took them, and always injected their own personalities into what they were playing (you should have heard them tear through their 2-man version of Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party"...) Discovering that they shared the same love and appreciation of this forgotten music, they decided to try and do something to help keep it alive. So they worked up a list of songs pulled mostly from old family song books, figured out arrangements for electric guitar and drums, and booked an opening slot at the monthly local music showcase, where crowd reaction indicated that they were on the right track. That would be the band's one and only live gig.
Even though the band is no longer, this site has been continued to hopefully inspire others to start making music.
While Cricket Hill wasn't the biggest band to ever play these songs, there was a genuine love of the music, and a desire to share that passion with anyone who saw or heard them perform.
