Watch this Dude Get Sincere

He's played Bonnaroo and Langerado. He's toured with Ben Harper, the Wailers, and Steel Pulse. Now, Trevor Hall is taking his acoustic folk/hip-hop/reggae mashup on the road solo and he'll hit Culture Room July 18. Hall's music stands out from many of his fellow folk singer/songwriters for a couple of reasons: He uses a good amount of reggae influences in the sound and lyrics. Many of Trevor's songs are about personal discovery, spirituality, and the journey to find oneself, but they don't come off as preachy or self-important. Instead, they reflect a young man chronicling his life for all to hear.
