"The “queer as folk” Californian artist stuns in their latest single. Anxiety and hope can be mortal enemies, constantly in conflict with one another. “My Anxious Brain & My Broken Heart” is Autumn Sky Hall’s attempt to broker peace between these forces. In this quietly powerful folk song, they methodically work through their emotions, personified by her brain and her heart. “Said my anxious brain/to my broken heart/can’t move forward when you’re on your guard” she sings. Autumn’s vocals are the centerpiece of their work, carefully modulated but infinitely expressive. They are supported by subdued background singers, soft guitars and percussion that is as delicate as a feather. Autumn’s music displays a stunning clarity of thought and musical talent in this introspective single."

"Autumn Sky Hall is an amazing and astounding - and young - folk/Americana singer/songwriter hailing from Sacramento, CA, complete with an enchanting & versatile voice, dancing guitar fingers, and emotionally compelling lyrics. Autumn pours her inner experience and growth through her songs so that to hear her is to know her and the human condition better."

"Continuing on the trend of impactful EPs, California folk veteran Otto/Autumn Sky Hall gives us a taste of the Americana album she’s been crowdfunding for on While We’re Here. The two-song EP is a love letter to California as she decamps to the East Coast. "And I Knew” is richly layered, a nod to Hall’s interest in indie pop hooks. There’s plenty of twang to love here, but the song’s bones are driving and exciting. By contrast, “Do You Believe?” is more of a classic folk song, showcasing Hall’s convictions that a better, just world is possible — and it’s right around the corner. With Hall’s rich voice and warm approach, it’s easy to believe."

"Hailing from Sacramento is Autumn Sky, a very talented up-and-coming singer. She is a big hit locally, and is now ready to capture a wider audience. With her tremendous skillset, it’s definitely going to happen." - Will Oliver 

"Spacewalker will be working for the first time with two of the headliners at the show but is excited to collaborate with Autumn Hall again — a performer she described as a celestial being. Hall was one of the earliest figures who inspired Spacewalker to pursue a career as a performer, showing how to really bring it in front of a crowd.

“It was just like, ‘Yo, look at this angel!’ Spacewalker recalled. “I was freaking out. Just the vocals, the stage presence and they seem so comfortable. They definitely inspired me to just really hone-in my creativity.”" - Casey Rafter 

"I have known Autumn Sky Hall for many years and have always admired her inner strength, talent, and her voice in our Sacramento music community. As a 12 year veteran of the music scene in Northern California and Hall of Fame inductee in the Sacramento Music Awards (SAMMIES), Hall is the only solo female act to ever be honored with the induction to the Hall of Fame (having received six awards total, including three Artist of the Year awards, back to back in the three years prior.).  By age 23, she had played over 500 gigs which includes opening for Bauhaus front man Peter Murphy, Heart at BottleRock Festival, and TBD Fest. Hall had a knack for marketing and promotion; brainstorming new ways to reach fans and utilizing every available avenue. Not only an accomplished singer and songwriter, Hall is also skilled in playing the acoustic guitar, piano, classical violin, auto harp, and the ukulele."

"Autumn Sky Hall’s “My Anxious Brain & My Broken Heart” has been on Mustard’s plug for some time. While Mustard lacks human emotions this song evokes those from them. Their bottle resists due to engineering but Hall’s single is so stunning and haunting that wall breaks itself down voluntarily. The music video that accompanies the song provides a captivating visual."

"I've always been drawn to musicians. I'm not sure if it's due to my intense stage fright or my deep appreciation for the the perfect lyric, but I've always held those who write, compose and perform music in high regard. Autumn Sky Hall grabbed my attention several years ago and has always struck me as one to watch. She kindly joined me at ThinkHouse yesterday to chat about her creative journey and where she sees her music career heading in the years to come."

"Twenty-year-old Autumn Sky is the perennially kindhearted artist...on the brink of breaking through with her syrupy ballads, poppy rockers and seasoned showmanship. Every city needs an indie-darling chanteuse with a bright future, and Sky’s horizon is vast." - Cosmo Garvin 

"The Sac 100" 

"(Autumn Sky's) voice is on par with Joanna Newsom's poetic warble, Chan Marshall without the baggage and Jolie Holland without the Vaudevillian rain clouds. The versatility of her melodies, lyrics and talent transcend calculated gimmicks."- Andy King

"Ruling the Alternative Indie Rock genre in Sacramento is Autumn Sky. In the two years that Autumn Sky has been a band with its current lineup, the group has been everywhere locally."
