Arch Hall Jr Returns
conqueroo reports: To fans of celluloid, hot rods and twangin' rock �n' roll, the name Arch Hall Jr. is that of a mysterious lost icon. 

Arch Hall Jr. had all the elements of early �60s rock'n'roll stardom � twangin' guitars, a B-movie career and a nearly perfect blond pompadour. His career may have never gained the steam of Elvis Presley, but his body of work � just reissued by Norton Records as Wild Guitar! � tells the story of a consummate rock'n'roll best kept secret. 

Appropriately, then, he will return to the stage after four decades when he performs at Ponderosa Stomp, the globally renowned annual two-day roots music romp to be held April 27 & 27 at Mid City Rock'n'Bowl in New Orleans.
