Born in the hills of West Virginia and immersed in the world of Bluegrass music, Hal started his musical career at the age of 3. Joining the stage with his father’s bluegrass band he sang the gospel songs he learned at church and collected enough pocket change to buy his first instrument, a mandolin. He started playing professionally at 15 and since then he has performed at hundreds of bluegrass music festivals and venues throughout the country as well as appearing on the WSM radio’s Ernest Tubb’s Midnight Jamboree in Nashville and on Iowa Public TV. He is an accomplished singer, songwriter and instrumentalist playing guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, bass and Dobro and has won multiple competitions as well as being twice voted the SPBGMA Midwest Mandolin Performer of the Year and has been inducted in to the Midwest Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame. He is in demand as a studio musician and has appeared on numerous CD projects including his own bands’ S & H Grass and Golden Harvest. Hal currently plays mandolin with Bull Harman and Bullseye who are the winners of the National Single Mike competition. Hal is also a retired US Air Force Master Sergeant with a distinguished 24 year career.
