Nigel states, “Having a live record has always been a dream of mine, and to have done it in my geographic source, with people who I love and enjoy very much, made it an extremely special experience that I’m thrilled to share with everyone.”
Throughout his career, he’s built a mighty foundation of funk, onstage and in the studio, proving himself to be a true student of the music. His unique sound, built upon pages torn out of the golden-ages of R&B, funk and soul, have made him the musician he is today; an accomplished vocalist, keyboardist, studio musician, and member of the GRAMMY-nominated funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-experimental titans Lettuce. Legions of fans are already well in the know about Hall’s copious keyboard chops and powerful vocal style.
The studio version of the song was recorded with a back-to-basics approach in Richmond, VA at the world famous Jellowstone Studios. Hall puts an emphasis on channeling the vibe and soul of his music, making himself a conduit of the unique style of jazz-inflected old-school R&B and funk and flows out of him.
