Hal Linton- tearing it up accoustic style

Hal Linton just finished performing here at the Glocally Newark launch party, and it was off the hook.  Fittingly, he started with a tribute to MJ, which was appropriate as the first live music of the evening.  He then followed up with a little Bob Marley Style- Redemption song and a couple acoustic tunes after [...]
