Dave U. Hall (The Cynz, Alan Merrill, Joey Ramone)

 

Bassist Dave U. Hall – no relation to the moving and storage company as far as I am aware, is among the most active players on the New York City “fringe” scene, performing and recording with such artists as The Cynz, The Rattlers, Alan Merrill, Rew Starr, Lester Bangs, and Joey Ramone, to cite a select few.

 

A music educator at Queens College, Hall honed his craft at such hallowed institutions as Berklee College of Music, and with mentors including Rick Laird, and Steve Swallow.  

Under the guise of the Walter MIDI Group – Hall waxed an autobiographical song-cycle entitled And Then You Woke Up in 2011.

 

A musical polymath – note his tenure in the jazz/rock collective Zymosis – DUH is a consummate song player, hence his presence on numerous releases, session work, and sideman gigs.
