Charlie Hall is a Christian worship leader and songwriter from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is a member of a group of musicians and speakers that collectively form the Passion movement.
Band members
Hall's band, in which he performs vocals and guitar, consists of Kendall Combes (electric guitar), Brian Bergman (keyboard), Dustin Ragland (drums), and Quint Anderson (bass guitar).
Charlie Hall
Since 1991, Charlie has been traveling, songwriting, and sharing life with people in his home of Oklahoma City, and across the United States, and even across several oceans. He attended Cherokee Hills Baptist Church.
After the releases of two independent albums, Charlie Hall released Porch and Altar, which was labeled by sixstepsrecords, in 2001. Porch and Altar was the second album released by the label.
Charlie has created several albums of diverse music. The latest is "The Bright Sadness".
As many of the Passion collegiate gatherings were recorded live, Hall was quickly dubbed "a voice" for the Passion movement, performing on all eight Passion albums, which have sold more than one million units.
Charlie expresses the desire to be "honed into God, where I'm not part of a culture where I'm trying to make the people around me think, 'Hey, that's a good Christian.' I'm just trying to pursue God and not pursue being accepted into a club...I'm more honed into my pursuit of God in Christ and how he's forming me and changing and helping me love him and know him."
Quint Anderson
Anderson plays the bass for the Charlie Hall band. Known for his orange hair, he's also considered the humorist of the group.
Quint graduated from Oklahoma State University and in addition to playing with Charlie, Quint works for Limbs for Life Foundation.
