Neye Benziyor?
Standing on a sidewalk in a city at night, looking through the plate-glass window of a closed bakery, seeing a piece of that day's lemon meringue pie up on a stand, and wanting that piece of pie, and standing there, and hearing cars go by.
Ben Cooley Hall grew up in a suburb of Boston, singing and playing violin from an early age. He picked up the guitar in college, after which he moved to Bozeman, Montana, and helped form the indie-pop outfit Birdbody Hank, serving on bass. The quartet opened for such noteworthy acts as Band of Susans and the Loud Family. Later, back in Massachusetts, Hall recorded a 3-song demo at Zippah Studios (1999) that helped him recruit Deb Klein to co-found The Mary Reillys: Hall wrote, sang, and played guitar, and Klein sang harmony and played bass and guitar. Keira Flynn-Carson later joined on drums. The Reillys won a small following in the Boston indie circuit, and recorded one EP (Sock Is The New Rock, 2001) and one LP (untitled, not yet released). (The trio has been on an extended hiatus ever since Klein relocated to New York in late 2003.) Ben Cooley Hall moved to Providence in 2002, and is based there now. In 2008, Hall began recording and performing solo. His first solo LP, Owning Up To A Life, was released April 16, 2009. ***************************************************************************BOOKING

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to listen to our music.
You've got a very unique sound. My band puts on a show every year called Summerfest. We're always looking for new people/bands to add to the show. Check out the myspace if you get a chance. www.myspace.com/summerfestwoonsocket
I've realized after posting it various places that there's no time on it. If you knew how, maybe put 8:30 on there? If not, just spread the word for 8:30....
I wanted to let your fans know they can listen to your music, along with independent artist from all over the world on WWW.WDSP1280.com, and it's all commercial free. Good luck on the West Coast.
