Linny Awards Performing Artist of the Year 2024 – presented by Artsquest Foundation

Dina Hall is a songwriter, singer, guitarist, percussionist, and recording artist, rooted in Bethlehem, Pa. She blends folk, rock, blues, and alt-country into a dynamic amalgam of Americana music, featuring her resonant, familiar voice on each song. Hall has solidly established a decades-long career as a performing songwriter, honing her craft in intimate listening rooms and bringing that spark to large theater stages and music festivals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware – sometimes with a full band behind her. Band members: Andy Killcoyne–guitar, Rameen Shayegan–mandolin, guitar and vocal, Nick Franclik–bass, Todd Schied–drums.

Dina Hall has appeared as support for many notable artists, including: KT Tunstall, Joan Osborne, Marcia Ball, Willy Porter, Jeffrey Gaines, Seth Glier, Danielia Cotton, Cheryl Wheeler, Karla Bonoff, Jimmy Webb, John Gorka, Catie Curtis, Richard Shindell, Susan Werner, The Wailin’ Jennys, and Chris Trapper.

“Hall’s songwriting and performance can be reminiscent of the enigmatic storytelling of Dylan and Springsteen, combined with the wildly feminist passion of Melissa Etheridge and Brandi Carlile, and the powerful whispers of Emmylou Harris and Tracy Chapman.“

“When I saw her in the Fowler Blast Furnace Room & Loft on the Steel Stacks campus opening for New Orleans legend Marcia Ball, she blew me away, and only had super-duper guitarist Andy Killcoyne with her. His succinct runs in-between her lines, his driving rhythms and leads were like having a whole band behind her. Vocally, she has a second gear to her voice.” Read the whole review
