Crystal Monee Hall's music is a prophetic fusion of folk, gospel, regional blues and soul. After playing numerous roles in the Broadway and National Touring companies of the Tony Award-winning musical, RENT, Crystal released her debut album, River Train, in 2012 and followed with an EP, "Three Days In Nashville” in 2013. She then toured internationally as the front woman of the Mickey Hart Band, led by Grateful Dead drumming legend, Mickey Hart. Billboard.com premiered her new EP, “If You Breathe”, which features a cover of Lauryn Hill's "Just Like Water" and is now available everywhere.  Having just played to a sold out crowd in her debut at the historic Apollo Theater, Crystal will join the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall in 2018, and perform alongside Ke$ha in the 2018 Grammy Awards.
