Louisiana-born, Texas-bred bluesman Chuck Hall found his way to Arizona via Detroit. Landing in Phoenix in 1984, Chuck promptly found a steady gig as guitarist for “Texas Red and The Heartbreakers” and quickly became a crowd favorite with his electrifying performances. In 1986, Chuck spun off from Texas Red, bringing bandmates Scott Andrews (bass) and Mark Riggs (drums) with him. He debuted his newly minted trio “Chuck Hall and The Brick Wall” to rave reviews, including a featured spot on MTV’s “Amuck in America.” The band was soon picked up by the Miller Genuine Draft Network and continued packing venues across the Southwest.
In 1987, “Chuck Hall and The Brick Wall” released their 12-song, self-titled debut on Whiz Bang Records. They followed in 1990 with “Loud and Proud: Live at Edsel’s Attic” on Opie Music. Chuck’s guitar wizardry and charismatic live show kept the group in constant demand, but in 1993, Scott and Mark exited to join former Gin Blossom and hit songwriter, Doug Hopkins, in his new endeavor, “The Chimeras,” along with “Live Nudes” alumni Mark and Lawrence Zubia.
That didn’t slow Chuck down. He recruited a new rhythm section and continued on as “The Chuck Hall Band.” Fervor Records is proud to be home to the great Chuck Hall and The Brick Wall catalog.
Chuck Hall has been bringing his rip-roaring brand of blues rock to audiences worldwide for nearly 40 years. Chuck has gigged extensively in venues large and small, both as a solo act and with his legendary powerhouse trios, “Chuck Hall and The Brick Wall” and “The Chuck Hall Band.” Hall has shared the stage with such luminaries as B.B. King, Gregg Allman, Willie Dixon, and Charlie Musselwhite, to name a few. His guitar mastery also landed him a steady gig as a clinician with the iconic guitar brand Fender. The distinguished blues maestro appears in many of Fender’s marketing campaigns as well.
Chuck’s affiliation with Fervor Records dates back to 1992 when he appeared on the label’s second and third releases, “Arizona Unplugged” followed by “Blue Saguaro.” He joined Hans Olson on his 1992 (Fervor imprint) Blond Sun Records release “Who’s Trying To Run My Life.” In 2014, he was featured on two Fervor releases: Hans Olson’s “Dust To Dust” and Big Pete Pearson’s “Steppin’ Out.” In 2018, Chuck joined forces with fellow bluesman Paris James on the Fervor release “Where The Big Dogs Play.” With hundreds of published songs under his belt, this prolific tunesmith continues to entertain audiences around the globe both on tour and through placements in prestigious films, TV shows, and ad campaigns.
