Ep 157: Erin Hall, Singer, Songwriter and Cellist

Erin Hall, a talented singer-songwriter and cellist from Boise, Idaho, now resides and creates music in New York City. She was featured in the "Idaho in Song" series on Idaho Public Television, Season 8, episode 5, where she premiered her song "Lullaby of 55." This episode can be viewed online at PBS' Idaho Experience Series "Idaho in Song". The series highlights songs inspired by Idaho's history and its distinctive musical style.

"Lullaby of 55" is a heartfelt tribute to Erin’s father, Richard Hall, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2020. The song reflects the emotional journey from Boise to McCall on Interstate 55, a route that holds deep personal meaning for her. Erin’s musical style blends influences from Latin, jazz, blues, and French pop, which were further shaped during her time in Belgium as part of a Rotary Exchange scholarship. Her lyrics, sung in both French and English, explore the beauty of everyday life and the surprising wonders of nature. Erin’s music is available on all major streaming platforms under the names Erin Hall and Erin and Her Cello, or you can visit her website at erinhallmusic.com.
