Kennedy Hall, emerging from Columbus, OH, is known for folk and soul-inspired indie rock tones. Influenced by the music of Bright Eyes, Fiona Apple and MJ Lenderman, Hall subverts melodic expectations, using confessional songwriting as a translator. With pure vocals and biting bluesy guitar tones, contrasting elements weave together in an attempt to reconcile the pull of nostalgia with the angst, grit and determination to move forward. Whether she’s performing solo or is joined by her band – consisting of Patrick Mahoney Jr. (guitar), Jack Lynch (drums), and Stu Max (bass) – her raw performance is nothing but captivating, motivated as an artist by introspection, connection and healing.
