Joel Hall initially agreed to fill in for just a show or two when the band needed a hand.  But in true mob fashion, getting out has been harder than he thought.  An accomplished trombonist during his high school years, the current principal of Ashland District School has fronted the long-running group Too Far North since his high school days.  Adept at quietly adding in a harmony here or a blended guitar part there, Joel’s steady presence is one of the many unique strengths of the Star City Syndicate.
