Born in Mobile, AL on the leading edge of the Baby Boom, Hal Newman had his first gig at age 3 singing "Sarah's Got a Secret", a spot for local business Sarah's Dollhouse. Though his talent was recognized early, he was prevented from taking formal lessons until age 5 when his hands were deemed large enough to play piano.
"Growing up listening to radio in Mobile in the '50's, I tuned in to John R. in Nashville and to the New Orleans stations playing Ernie K. Doe, Benny Spellman and Lee Dorsey. These were my heroes," says Newman.
