About Hal Merrill:

"I've been playing pedal steel guitar for the last 30 years.  I was fascinated with jazz and in 1981, encourage by friends, began jazz studies on my own and later at a university.  Since 1998, I have been regularly playing jazz music in a duo or trio setting at restaurants and coffee houses around the Seattle area."
