Touched by cultural and musical legends who came before him, Nigel Hall wields limitless talents with seemingly effortless panache. He’s a soulful force of nature with an unrepentant approach, a captivating performer who simply demands our attention. Keyboardist/vocalist for veteran future-funk outfit Lettuce, Nigel’s electrifying reputation precedes him, both onstage and off; he moves through life with a sizable chip on his shoulder and an even bigger beating heart in his chest.
On July 16th, the Grammy-winning Hall unveiled Spiritual, his intoxicating sophomore opus, a record that writes a new chapter in an already-storied career. The full-length LP is brimming with the musical brilliance and emotional verve his fans have come to love and expect over the past dozen years since Hall first hit the scene with the Royal Family.
Spiritual finds Hall tracing his roots back to the D.C. area, where he spent his youthful years immersed in the city’s sports and music culture. The fourteen-track release has Nigel hooking up with multi-instrumentalist/studio shaman DJ Harrison, who co-produced the effort with a back-to-basics ethos and subtle Soulquarian style.
