"John and I have a lot of great memories associated with performing at the Troubadour, since it was our first show in LA," said Daryl. "It's like going back to where it all began for us. We've always had an enthusiastic following in Los Angeles, and this is a chance for our fans to see us up close and personal in an intimate setting."
Daryl Hall and John Oates' most recent appearance in the area was last summer, when they were the headliner for two-nights at the Hollywood Bowl. Most recently, Daryl has performed with KT Tunstall and the Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy on his monthly webcast, Live From Daryl's House (www.livefromdarylshouse.com).

KT TUNSTALL TO JOIN DARYL HALL ON LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE IN LONDON, MARCH 15
U.K. Singer/Songwriter Performs "Kiss on My List," "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," Bonnie Raitt's "Something to Talk About" and "If Only" with Daryl on Fifth Installment of Webcast
LOS ANGELES, FEBRUARY 29, 2008-Celebrated U.K. singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, will be the special guest of Daryl Hall on the fifth installment of his free webcast, Live From Daryl's House, on March 15 at 8 p.m., exclusive at www.livefromdarylshouse.com.
The two collaborate on versions of "Kiss on My List" and "Out of Touch," as well as her own hit, "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," as well as a cover of Bonnie Raitt's "Something to Talk About." The show takes place in London, where Daryl has a home.
"Working with KT Tunstall was a fantastic musical experience," said Daryl. "She's got a really great voice, with a solid guitar style and a very centered way of looking at music. Our voices really blend well and I'd love to work with her more in the future."
The Scottish singer-songwriter has been nominated for two Grammys and won three Brit Awards, selling more than four million albums worldwide after capturing the attention of the public with a performance of "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on the U.K. TV show, Later with Jools Holland. Her debut album, Eye to the Telescope, peaked at #3 on the British charts and earned her a 2005 nomination for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize. Her second album, Drastic Fantastic, debuted in the Top 10 in the U.S. last September.
"I had such a wicked time," KT enthuses about appearing on Live From Daryl's House. "It was a dream to sing with such a great singer. Daryl really has an amazing voice. I've never sung with a guy able to do the things he can with his voice."
Live From Daryl's House debuted November 15th, featuring Hall's longtime collaborator T Bone Wolk. Other guests on the webcast included partner John Oates on a holiday special highlighting their Home for Christmas album and, most recently, Daryl was joined by Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy on the fourth installment of the series (which is currently being shown on
www.livefromdarylshouse.com).
Each new edition of Live From Daryl's House takes place at one of Daryl's homes in either upstate New York, Maine, the Bahamas or, like this one, London.
"Daryl's House is a state of mind," he says, one that KT Tunstall has now experienced for herself.
"It's such a great vibe," KT said. "We had a great laugh. Working with such hugely talented and respected musicians, it was such a great vibe, I felt I'd known them for years. Daryl has a great thing going on there. It's pure music."

AT 56th ANNUAL POP AWARDS MAY 20 IN LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES, February 20, 2008 – BMI will salute duo Daryl Hall & John Oates as BMI Icons at its 56th annual Pop Awards, slated for Tuesday, May 20 at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles. Hosted by BMI President & CEO Del Bryant and BMI Vice President & General Manager, Writer/Publisher Relations, Los Angeles, Barbara Cane, the invitation-only event will also honor the songwriters and publishers of the past year’s most-performed pop songs in the United States. The evening’s capstone will take the form of a stirring musical tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates.
BMI Icons are selected because of their “unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers.” As BMI Icons, Daryl Hall & John Oates will join elite ranks that include the Bee Gees, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Paul Simon, Merle Haggard, Brian Wilson, Willie Nelson, James Brown, Ray Davies, Carlos Santana and Dolly Parton.
The effervescent popularity of Daryl Hall and John Oates’s magical collaborations springs from the duo’s devout passion for Philly soul and buoyant pop harmonies. Warmly accessible and expertly polished, Daryl Hall & John Oates’s smooth production utilizes undeniable hooks and innate contemporary lyrical sensibility. The resulting eight no. 1 singles, three double-platinum and two platinum albums catapulted the pair into pop superstardom; in 1987, Daryl Hall & John Oates became the #1 selling duo in pop music, according to the RIAA. Skilled songwriters, Daryl Hall & John Oates are both members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, together boasting 24 BMI Pop Awards and a catalog studded with 14 BMI Million-Air award songs, including “She’s Gone,” “Everytime You Go Away,” “Kiss On My List,” “Maneater” and “Sara Smile.” They have prompted a surge of interest and homage from a diverse bevy of new artists, who cite the pair as definitive influences. Restless creators, Daryl Hall & John Oates have spent much of the last decade touring throughout the world.
In addition to the Icon, BMI will recognize Song, Songwriter and Publisher of the Year during the evening, along with the recipient of the BMI Foundation’s John Lennon Scholarship. Pop Award winners from previous years include Maroon 5, R. Kelly, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Pharrell Williams, Michelle Branch, Lil Jon, the Foo Fighters, Linkin Park and Sheryl Crow.

LFDH 4!
GYM CLASS HEROES’ TRAVIS MCCOY TO JOIN DARYL HALL ON LIVE FROM DARYL’S HOUSE FEB. 15
Rocker’s Appearance on Live Webcast Includes Covers of Daryl's "Everytime You Go Away," "You Make My Dreams Come True"
LOS ANGELES, FEBRUARY 12, 2008—Travis McCoy, lead vocalist for Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen recording group Gym Class Heroes, will be the special guest of Daryl Hall on the fourth installment of his free live webcast, Live From Daryl’s House, on Feb. 15 at 8 p.m., exclusive at www.livefromdarylshouse.com.
The two collaborate on a version of the Daryl Hall-penned “Everytime You Go Away,” a #1 U.S. and Top 5 U.K. hit in 1985 for Paul Young, and a brand-new take on “You Make My Dreams,” mashed up with the Gym Class Heroes’ track “The Queen and I,” off of their RIAA-certified Gold release, As Cruel As School Children.
Live From Daryl’s House debuted last Nov. 15, featuring Hall’s longtime collaborator T Bone Wolk, while partner John Oates guested on the second installment, a holiday special highlighting their Home for Christmas album in December.
Hailing from Geneva, NY, Gym Class Heroes’ alternative hip-hop style and use of live instruments in favor of canned beats and looped samples caught the attention of Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, who signed them to his Decaydance imprint. The band’s breakthrough album, As Cruel as School Children, featured one of the biggest hits of 2007, the #1 smash single “Cupid’s Chokehold/Breakfast in America.” Gym Class Heroes also took home the 2007 MTV Video Music Award for “Best New Group”, beating out the likes of Lily Allen, Peter Bjorn & John, Carrie Underwood, and Amy Winehouse.
McCoy has long expressed his admiration for Daryl, even going so far as to name one of the band’s previous headlining concert jaunts the Daryl Hall for President Tour ’07.
Gym Class Heroes is currently in the studio working on the highly anticipated, follow-up to As Cruel As School Children. Hall guests on the forthcoming, as-yet-untitled album, slated for release this summer.
Said McCoy of his relationship with Daryl: “Part of me was horrified before working with Daryl to be honest. There are 2 people I hold high on my caste system of people I think are cooler than me, my father being the other. I grew up on Daryl’s voice. I am forever grateful for the chance to work with and befriend someone I've looked up to all these years.”
Commented Daryl: “Words fail to express the fun and creative fulfillment that I had recording and playing with Travis. I think the combination of his poetry and my musicality came together in a very historic way, and I don’t say that lightly.”
Adds Hall: “I haven’t felt this way since the Apollo Theater, back in the day, when I worked with the Temptations, except now the roles have been reversed.”
Each new edition of Live From Daryl’s House will take place at one of Daryl’s homes in either upstate New York, Maine, London or the Bahamas.
“Daryl’s House is a state of mind,” he says. The latest edition, with Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy, is a meeting of musical minds.

SECOND EDITION OF LIVE FROM DARYL’S HOUSE TO DEBUT DEC. 15
New Show Will Feature Daryl Hall and John Oates Playing Selections from Home for Christmas Album
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6, 2007—“I feel like a new kind of media pioneer, as if we were at the dawn of television,” says Daryl Hall of his newest venture, Live From Daryl’s House, a monthly webcast which features him playing along with friends and colleagues in an intimate setting. “The rules are completely different. It’s freer and more flexible. I love the immediacy of putting out a new song, straight from my brain or the studio directly to the public.”
The second installment of Live From Daryl’s House, recorded at Hall’s upstate New York home with partner John Oates and T Bone Wolk, along with the rest of the band as well as a full string section, debuts December 15 at 8PM Eastern exclusively on www.livefromdarylshouse.com. The concert will feature songs from the band’s recently released Home for Christmas album on their own U-Watch/DKE Records label, distributed by ICON Music Entertainment Services, giving fans a version of the current tour, which started Nov. 30th in Chicago and runs through December 17th in Philadelphia.
“Musically, it’s amazing, it really came out fantastic,” says Daryl of the performance. “We decorated the big room with a Christmas tree and all the trimmings. Anybody that doesn’t get a chance to see the live show can catch it online. From a technical standpoint, it’s going to be even better than the first one.”
Since the first show, the site now includes the option to view the concert on a full screen, with the ability to listen to individual songs in the set on demand. The initial Live From Daryl’s House drew upwards of 46,000 hits and 30,000 individuals watching the entire webcast.
“The response has been so far beyond what I thought it would be,” says Hall, who says he’s using the information to find out about his fans, so he can continue to communicate with them about tour dates, album releases and other events involving him and the band.
“We’re finding out what you can and can’t do, what works and doesn’t work, as we go along,” he laughs.
For Hall, the Internet has been a godsend, enabling him to be independent of the stifling interference of a major label.
“All those who are afraid of this are terrified of giving up the status quo,” he explains. “They’ve been doing business by rote the same way for 50 years. But times have changed. I’m sure people were saying the same thing in 1905 when cars replaced the horse and buggy. Those dependent on the old technology have become mentally lazy. That’s why they’ve become dinosaurs.”
If you plan on being Home for Christmas, celebrate it with Daryl Hall and John Oates, Live From Daryl’s House on December 15. It’s their gift that keeps on giving through the holiday season.

LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE TO DEBUT 11/15
LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE TO DEBUT ON NOVEMBER 15
Monthly Free Video Webcasts Will Include New Daryl Hall Solo Material, Special Guests
NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2007-"It was just one of those light bulb moments. I've had this idea about just sitting on the porch or in my living room, playing music with my friends and putting it up on the Internet."
And that was how Daryl Hall came up with the idea of Live from Daryl's House, a monthly Internet webcast featuring him playing along with some of his friends and colleagues in an intimate setting.
Live from Daryl's House is set to debut November 15 at 8PM Eastern, exclusively on www.livefromdarylshouse.com. Following the webcast, the episode will be available on demand any time through the website.
Among the guests scheduled to stop by as Daryl debuts some of his new songs are Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas, Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy, Flight of the Conchords' Bret and Jemaine as well as partner John Oates and longtime band member T-Bone Wolk.
"I've always thought live performances were the only way to communicate directly with your fans," said Daryl of the show's format, which he compares to an Internet version of the hit U.K. TV show Later with Jools Holland.
"This is straight from me to the audience. It gives me the freedom to allow a glimpse into my creative process and work with different musicians. And I feel more comfortable doing it this way. The Internet is a refreshing opportunity to reach people."
Daryl Hall has been an innovator as an artist and a businessman, with Hall & Oates one of the first successful bands to abandon the traditional major label system to release their albums independently almost 15 years ago.
"I did it because I was frustrated," he says of his move to the indie realm.
"I was tired of being dictated to by people who really didn't understand what I was doing."
Likewise, Live from Daryl's House allows Hall to introduce his own material, both in creation and finished product, with the final songs potentially forming a solo CD.
"I'm very proud, satisfied and happy with what I've done with Hall & Oates," he said. "But I also exist outside the band. This is an opportunity for me to exhibit what it is I do directly to the public without any pre-judgment."
Live from Daryl's House brings his music from his home to yours. Individual segments will be available on the website, with the entire program archived.
Daryl explains the show could take place in any number of locations, including one of his three homes in upstate New York, Bahamas and London, a recording studio, a front porch or wherever he happens to be.
"Daryl's house is a state of mind," he claims. One, starting in November, where everyone is welcome.

DARYL HALL TO APPEAR AT NYC LYME DISEASE FUNDRAISER
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DARYL HALL TO APPEAR AT LYME DISEASE FUNDRAISING GALA IN NYC ON NOV. 1
Musician Will Perform at Turn the Corner Foundation Benefit and Sing Song Written by Dr. Richard I. Horowitz, 2007 Humanitarian Award Recipient
NEW YORK- October 23, 2007—Daryl Hall, of Daryl Hall and John Oates, the best-selling music duo of all time, will give a brief performance at Unmask a Cure, Turn the Corner Foundation’s Second Annual Fundraising Gala at Guastavino’s in New York City, Thursday evening, November 1, 2007 from 6-10 p.m.
The event will help benefit research and education for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Hall announced two years ago that he suffered from the ailment and had dedicated himself to educating the public about the disease, with only one out of ten cases documented. President George W. Bush also recently revealed that he had contracted the disease, after keeping the news quiet for a year.
“Contracting Lyme disease is nothing to be ashamed of,” said Hall, who will also participate in a Q&A with the audience during the evening. “Many people aren’t even aware they’re suffering from it. The more attention we can draw to the symptoms, and the more research we can conduct towards its cure, the more we can alleviate some of the suffering and misunderstanding of the disease among the public.”
Hall will perform a solo set with his longtime collaborator T-Bone Wolk , including a brand-new song, “The Ballad of the Deer Tic,” penned by his own doctor, Richard I. Horowitz, who will be honored by Turn The Corner as its 2007 Humanitarian Award recipient. Bruce E. Mosler will be presented with the 2007 Spirit of Philanthropy Award, while Dr. Nick S. Harris will receive the 2007 Scientific Merit Award. Silent and live auctions will also be conducted.
Turn the Corner Foundation is a non-profit public charity dedicated to the support of research, education, awareness and innovative treatments for Lyme disease and other tic-borne diseases.
Advance tickets are on sale online for $200 before October 26, with any remaining tickets for $250 at the door. Guastavino’s is located at 409 East 59th Street in New York City.

World's Best-Selling Musical Duo's Xmas Album Will Now Be Available at All
Retailers Nationwide, Tour Launches Nov. 30 in Chicago
LOS ANGELES, Sept 20, 2007-Building upon the success of their first-ever
holiday album, which debuted last year, Daryl Hall & John Oates will
re-release Home for Christmas on Sept. 25 through their own U-Watch/DKE
Records distributed by ICON Music Entertainment Services. The album, which
was part of an exclusive arrangement with Trans World Entertainment, will

the first time.
"We are so pleased that Home for Christmas can now be bought by our fans at
all retail outlets," said Daryl Hall. "This assures that everyone who wants

Produced by Daryl Hall and longtime collaborator T-Bone Wolk and Greg Bieck,
Home for Christmas, with special cover art designed by Michael McCurdy,
features the world's best-selling musical duo giving new and original life
to traditional holiday anthems such as "The First Noel," "It Came Upon a
Midnight Clear," "The Christmas Song," "Mary Had a Baby," "O Holy Night"
and a re-recording of "Jingle Bell Rock," a promo-only single that was a hit
for the duo for many years. Daryl and John each wrote one original song for
the collection, the title track "Home For Christmas and "No Child Should
Ever Cry on Christmas."
"It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" reached #1 on Billboard's Christmas chart
last year, while critics were effusive in their praise of the album.
"I find my ideas of beauty infinitely expanded," said Blogcritics.com
reviewer Michael Jones about Home for Christmas. "That is how my heart feels
about it. You will never regret purchasing this."
All Music Guide's Stephen Thomas Erlewine raved: "The result is the rare
holiday album that feels familiar yet fresh, and there's enough variety here
to make this a Christmas record that will hold up well over the years."
Daryl Hall and John Oates will launch a tour to promote the album, starting
Nov. 30 at Audiotrium Theatre in Chicago. Other dates include Detroit's Fox
Theatre (12/1), Columbus, OH's Palace Theatre (12/3), Cleveland's State

Hall on Bush's Lyme Diagnosis
Los Angeles, CA – August 9, 2007 - The news that President George W. Bush has been suffering from Lyme Disease for more than a year really caught the attention of Daryl Hall, one-half of the world’s biggest-selling music duo of all time Daryl Hall & John Oates, and someone who was also diagnosed with the illness over two years ago.
Hall is hoping the President’s admission will focus more attention on the causes and antidotes of the little-known malady: "While I'm sorry when anyone gets Lyme Disease, maybe it takes a person in power to draw attention to what all of us who have the disease, are going through. The withholding of information for a year points out the confusing politics of the disease. Now, George Bush can feel our pain."
Caused by a bite from an infected blacklegged tick often found on a deer, Lyme Disease symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and a characteristic skin rash. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart and the nervous system. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics. Steps to prevent Lyme disease include using insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, landscaping and integrated pest management. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease can occasionally transmit other tick-borne diseases as well.

Very Special John Oates show!
John Oates will be performing a show called: "THE STORY BEHIND THE SONGS" in Denver on April 27. There will be very special seating and tickets that will include a pre-show meet and greet with John for AAC Members Only! On sale 3/24.
In a very intimate concert setting, John will do what we music fans have yearned for
he will tell stories about how, why and where he wrote the songs - as well as some (respectable only) thoughts about whom. It will be John solo, along with Jed Leiber on keyboards.
It gives Hall and Oates fans a much deeper connection to the songs we already know and love, taking us back to a moment, a love, or a summer we will never forget, perhaps a life altering moment. He will also include material he?s written for other artists and share some personal anecdotes of his experiences in the music business. I imagine it will be like sitting in a private room, having a personal, private conversation with him about music that may have changed your life, the kind of intimate moment sometimes only friends of musicians get to enjoy.

Passing of Ahmet Ertegun
Ahmet Ertegun was a giant in the record business. He cared first and foremost about the ARTIST and the MUSIC--much more than the business. He believed that if the Artist was true to him or herself, good business would follow. Sadly in today's atmosphere, this isn't the case. But, during Ahmet's days of influence it was! He was one of the first people to realize our potential and supported us during our beginning - the most important time. We couldn't have done what we did without Ahmet and Arif Mardin's support and encouragement. He changed music and created what I consider its golden age. He will be sorely missed. --Daryl Hall

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM DARYL HALL ABOUT THE PASSING OF ARIF MARDIN:
New York, NY – June 26, 2006 – “There was never a more consummate arranger and musician on earth. Arif could bring out the best in any artist and was responsible in helping to create the Hall and Oates sound. Most importantly, Arif was like a father figure to me. I’ve known him and his family since I was a kid and now that he is gone, I will never be the same.”

DARYL HALL DIAGNOSED WITH LYME DISEASE
DARYL HALL DIAGNOSED WITH LYME DISEASE, IS ON TARGET FOR FULL RECOVERY
Postponed tour dates in support of their critically acclaimed new album, OUR KIND OF SOUL, to be rescheduled
NEW YORK, July 6, 2005—Daryl Hall, half of the chart-topping soul duo Daryl Hall & John Oates, has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Lyme Disease is caused by the bite of infected deer ticks, and often presents with a characteristic "bull's-eye" rash, which is usually accompanied by flu-like symptoms.
The malady caused Daryl Hall & John Oates to postpone a series of dates over the past few weeks, among them scheduled shows in San Diego and Los Angeles. Diagnosed early, Hall is expected to make a full and rapid recovery and resume the tour as soon as he is able. The duo's manager and agent are currently working on re-scheduling as many postponed shows as possible. The previously scheduled performance dates for August and September will not be affected. A revised tour schedule will be announced shortly.
“We are so sorry to disappoint our fans, but we promise to make it up to them,” said Daryl. “This illness made it impossible for me to give my best effort to our audience, but now that it’s been identified, I’m looking forward to a complete, quick recovery and to get back out there with John as soon as possible.”
