Manitoba Hal Brolund is a multi-instrumentalist and the consummate blues ukulele man. He is a powerful vocalist, with a voice as smooth and sweet as Tupelo honey but he can growl like a hurricane on a hot Louisiana night. He can hold his own singing Novelty Jazz tunes from the 1920s and 30s or growling a down home blues.
Hal is charismatic and engaging on stage leading the audience in a journey through juke joints and roadside chicken joints. Old gospel songs are played alongside stories of lost love and murder. Hal has a songwriter's roots in eerie folk - murder ballads and killer floods - and a players roots in the deep, dark, fixin' to die blues. This is a man who can sing the word "lonesome" like he means it, and no mistake.
Hal has been featured at the Ukulele Hall of Fame, New York Uke Fest, Ukulele Ceilidh and Great Canadian Ukulele Expo. He has also appeared at the Thunder Bay Blues Festival, Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival, Regina Mid-Winter Blues Festival, Saskatoon Blues Festival, Swift Current Stir Crazy Blues Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Trout Forest Music Festival, Live from the Rock Folk and Blues Festival and countless concert halls, night clubs, bowling alleys and street corners.
