"Live From Daryl's House" hosted by Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer Daryl Hall is returning to the internet with a dedicated YouTube channel. The newest installment started on Nov. 1
A roster of musicians has been announced for the weekly series, starting with Glenn Tilbrook on Nov. 1, followed by Atlanta psychedelic jam band Blackberry Smoke singer/guitarist Charlie Starr (Nov. 8); King Crimson guitarist and Daryl Hall solo album producer Robert Fripp; singer/songwriters Andy Grammer (Nov. 22), Lisa Loeb (Nov. 29) and U.K. synthpop pioneer Howard Jones (Dec. 6).
"Live from Daryl’s House" itself debuted Nov. 15, 2007, and in all, 90 episodes have been shot, including the most recent six. Hall created Live from Daryl's House as a refuge from live touring on the road, wanting the opportunity to collaborate with contemporary artists and veteran musicians.
The setting is a recreation of Hall's home in Millerton, NY where the first 64 shows were done. In October 2013, Hall began leasing and renovating the Pawling building that once housed the Towne Crier nightclub in Pawling, New York and have taped the shows there since then, with occasional on-location programs. The program was honored with a Webby Award in 2010 for "Best Variety Series."
Reminiscing about the unique aspect of Live From Daryl's House, “it was an idea I had to use the Internet for entertainment, which hadn’t really been done before," Hall explains of the show — which he launched on his own dime — in this season's premiere installment. "Hard to believe but there wasn’t anything like it. So much has changed since then. I was kind of a pioneer."
