Nigel Hall, Lettuce / Soulive / Jon Cleary / Solo Artist
Description
Nigel Hall is a true soul provider whose authentic blend of funk, R&B, and jazz has made him a standout vocalist and keyboardist. We attempt to cover his musical evolution from his D.C. roots to his work with the Grammy-nominated band Lettuce and his own dynamic solo projects. Lots to be inspired by here, including Nigel’s story of overcoming adversity to have a great perspective on gratitude, music and life in general.
