About us
The Birkett Hall story is somewhat unusual, or maybe unconventional is a better way to say it.
This power duo left Canada in 2009 and lived in S. E.Asia for 7 years where they toured, recorded, produced music and experienced an intense and life-changing zeitgeist. In 2016, Germany became their home base for another 7+ years of touring across the EU. In 2023 they returned to Canada for family reasons.
They are currently in the upper Gatineau region in Quebec, recording new music after a spring 2025 Eu tour that included the Baden Blues Festival in Baden Switzerland.
Their music is powerful, lyrical, vocally strong and played with a lot of energy. It comes from the roots of Blues, Folk, Jazz, Rock and World Beat, and maybe even a little psychedelic thrown into the mix. You could call it “Acoustic-Folk-Rock- Blue-Punk-Jazz-Indie Singer-Songwriter”, or maybe you could find a more compact description, but the end result is a sound that is unique and undeniable. An acoustic/electric sound that is very personal. When one hears them one truly feels the stories their songs tell. Strong lyrics, fat grooves and the tonal depth of a whole band. They take their energy from the audience and give it back with power and passion. Birkett Hall offers a truly unforgettable dynamic performance.
Ea Birkett
Whether standing behind a microphone, playing guitar, harmonica, percussion or singing, she does it with her whole soul. Ea Birkett is the kind of artists that sees the film of the song in her head and this translates into a power and intensity of emotion carried by her unforgettable voice. Guaranteed goose bumps.
The combination of her body language; a cross between unconscious sign language and some
kind of martial art, her intensity and her “one in a million” voice definitely reach through and captivateany audience.

Ted Hall
Ted began his professional musical career at the age of 16. His live performance is unmistakably
powerful, dynamic, sometimes wild, sometimes gentle.
His studio contributions radiate originality and
authenticity. He’s a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, slide guitar, bass, piano, harmonica, saxophone, drums, percussion and synthesizer).
His musical philosophy and influences are very present in Birkett Hall and bring the performance to a passionate, thoughtful and powerful level.
