As a musician, Hall has performed solo and with bands Railroad Jerk and White Hassle.
Marcellus Hall was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota,[1] and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design[2] where he also learned guitar and harmonica.
[7] In March 2018, Hall published with Bittersweet Editions a debut comic narrative (also known as a graphic novel) called Kaleidoscope City.
The book earned accolades from actor Bob Odenkirk, comics artist Adrian Tomine, and musician Adam Green.
This is a nice and refreshing change of pace for comics and a great book for early spring,” said Lenny Schwartz of Forces of Geek.
[12] In addition to illustrating the books White Pigeons and 57 Octaves for Fifth Planet Press,[13] Hall has self-published books of drawings and writing including Hard Luck Stories and Legends of the Infinite City (a collection of black & white drawings of New York City).
The song "Rollerkoaster" from the album One Track Mind [20] appeared on MTV's Beavis and Butthead.
[25] Hall has since performed as a solo artist with his band, The Hostages (which includes mainstays Damon Smith and Mike Shapiro, as well as others, including Michael DuClos, Alex Berman, Troy Fannin, Jimmy Ansourian, Joachim Kearns, and Matt Martin).
Hall released a debut album, First Line, on Modest Mouse singer Isaac Brock's label Glacial Pace in 2011.
