Those Who Know Say:

Anita Hall is the most "all around" talented vocalist I have come across in my sixty-one years. Fifty of these years have been in the music business. She can sing any style and has the personality and charm to make you pay attention to her. Anita has an incredible vocal range and knows how to use it. I feel blessed to have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame with Sly & the Family Stone in 1993. I feel equally blessed to have met and worked with Anita Hall. She has brought much "light and love" into my life and others around her.
Jerry Martini, saxophonist & founding member
of Sly and the Family Stone

 
 


"A singer whose ability to cover any style, and cover it to perfection, makes Anita Hall one of my favorite vocalists, not only here in Honolulu, but also in the country."
Matt Catingub, conductor & multi-talented musician


Anita... is not only strikingly beautiful, full of light and delightful energy but also sangs her ass off. I met her in Hawaii at a very tender time in my life, she was a great friend to me then and remains a great friend to this day. We were blessed to write and record together at Tarpan Studios. Not only does she rock she rules!
Narada Michael Walden
, producer, composer and performer

 
 

"Anita is the finest vocalist I've ever worked with. She can do all styles with conviction and lots of soul. It doesn't get any better."
Clyde Pound, legendary band director and composer


“When I first heard Anita Hall, it was at a free public venue, as I was on my way to the airport after a concert trip. I was so completely impressed with her incredible voice, her versatility and her wonderful stage presence, that I risked missing my flight to speak with her after her performance. On my next trip to Hawaii, I asked her to join me in my Honolulu concert for a few numbers and, of course, she brought the house down. Now, I always look forward to any opportunity to collaborate with Anita. She is an extraordinary talent.”
Jeff Linsky, virtuoso guitarist

 
         

In the press
"Anita Hall has become one of the islands' more celebrated vocalists...”
—Tim Ryan, Honolulu Star Bulletin, Jan. 2004

“Hall is heavy on jazz but also eases into ballads such as a moving "Someone to Watch Over Me" and a soulful "Since I fell for You." She has terrific range...” — Ben Wood, Honolulu Star Bulletin, August 1998

“Vocalist Anita Hall joins the HJQ in a hauntingly beautiful expression of
loss and solace. Hall's rendering of poet Robert Pennybacker's lyrics is
exquisite, and the HJQ supports her perfectly.”

—John Berger for Local 677 about "Remembrance" Honolulu Jazz Quartet, Nov. 2001

“Anita Hall was hot … at a clambake on the Hilton Lagoon green last weekend….” — Ben Wood, Honolulu Star Bulletin, August 2000

“…Great pipes” —Ben Wood, Honolulu Star Bulletin, May 2001

“…awe-inspiring, devoted Christian songstress…Anita has a unique and sincere manner of sharing her testimony through song…”
—The Spire, July 2003

Anita Hall shows her speed at Indy 500 Singer Anita Hall, originally from Indianapolis, is revved up after covering the Indianapolis 500 for "Ohana Road," a KITV show that's all about cars. Her dad, Lewis Hall, was a photographer at car races and took little Anita to them. At this year's Indy 500, grown-up Anita said she made her way though the pits and Gasoline Alley with a digital camera in one hand and a video camera in the other. The highlight was a ride round the famous track in an Indy Pace Car. Anita's film clips will be in the TV shows that start July 24. Andy Bumatai is also doing a segment. That should be a kick ..
— Ben Wood, July 2004, Honolulu Star Bulletin
