Update: Bill Hall Singing "House of the Rising Sun" in Seattle Bar



SEATTLE, WA -- Mariners' recent signee Bill Hall was spotted in Dimitriou's Jazz Alley after Friday night's game performing "House of the Risin' Sun" to a small audience. Accompanied by his acoustic guitar and harmonica, Hall sung the melancholic folk ballad made famous by The Animals with an impassioned howl and a visible sadness seen only on victims of only the harshest pain and deepest loss.

His long set also included a number of other somber folk ballads such as "Rocks and Gravel", "Moonshiner", and Simon & Garfunkel's hit "The Sound of Silence".

Ken Griffey Jr. and his jazz quintet perform at Dimitriou's on Sunday at 9.
