This week on No Simple Road we are super excited to have Trevor Hall as our guest! Raised on an island in South Carolina, singer/songwriter Trevor Hall realized at a young age that music was more than just a passion - it was his life’s art. At sixteen, he recorded his first album. Shortly after, Hall left South Carolina for Idyllwild Arts Academy in California where he studied classical guitar and was introduced to the practices of yoga and meditation, which would greatly influence his life and his music.
Hall’s music, a blend of roots and folk music with touches of electronic elements, is imbued with a deep love of Eastern Mysticism. This powerful symbiosis fostered a deep connectivity with his growing fan base and Trevor quickly matured into a leader of the burgeoning conscious musical community. Along with numerous pilgrimages to India, he has sold out the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado as a headliner and he also completed a series of sold-out international tours with artists such as Ziggy Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Michael Franti, John Butler Trio, Matisyahu and Brett Dennen.
We talk with Trevor about:
How being an introvert at heart translates to being a musician.
His experiences of getting signed to a major label at the age of 16 and how it affected him.
How being treated like a 'product' took its toll on his mental state and self confidence.
What the genesis of his spiritual journey looked like.
Some of his experiences in traveling to India and practicing Yoga.
How "the Great In Between' and the new album came to be.
The ways in which becoming a Father have fundamentally changed him for the better.
... and much, much more!
