2017 UPDATES

Nigel Hall Band
Highmark Stage – Headline Act
10:45 pm – midnight

“Nigel Hall is something of a modern soul marvel, garnering the praises of some of the best in the biz for his soaring vox and an unflinching command for the soul music canon as a musician, songwriter and arranger.” — OkayPlayer

Soul provider Nigel Hall is in many ways an artist who needs no introduction. An in-demand sideman, he’s built a mighty foundation of funk over the years onstage and in the studio with collaborators including the Warren Haynes Band, Jon Cleary, Soulive, Oteil Burbridge and Roosevelt Collier, Ledisi, the Soul Rebels, Lettuce and countless others. Legions of fans are already well in the know about Hall’s copious keyboard chops and powerful vocal style. But even to them, his Feel Music/Round Hill debut solo album is a revelation – a confirmation that Hall has stepped out front and center into a creative space to call his own.

Ladies & Gentlemen… Nigel Hall captures the spirit of the songs that made Hall a musician. It was produced by Eric Krasno, guitarist and producer of a dizzying array of artists including Norah Jones, Justin Timberlake, Talib Kweli, Aaron Neville and Matisyahu.

THE FULL LINEUP FOR THIS YEAR'S CELEBRATION WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6th. Check TrustArts.org/FirstNightPGH for details.

This year's celebration is the 23
