Today, Tony Award winner Lena Hall releases her live album Sin & Salvation — Live at the Carlyle. The album, recorded from her 2015 cabaret show at the Café Carlyle, captures Hall's signature mix of Broadway and rock and roll, with ripping renditions of material from a wide array of artists including Tori Amos, Hozier, Led Zeppelin, James Brown, and more.

On the album, Hall is backed by a band that features Watt White on guitar and backup vocals, John Deley on piano and organ, Lee Nadel on bass, and Brian Fishler on drums. The album is produced, arranged, and mixed by Watt White, with live recording by John Guth and bonus studio recording by Kyle Pass.

Hall is best known for her 2014 Tony Award-winning performance as Yitzhak in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Her other Broadway credits include Cats; 42nd Street; Dracula, the Musical; Tarzan; and Kinky Boots.

Physical copies of Sin & Salvation — Live at the Carlyle are available on Lenahall.com, CDBaby.com, and Amazon.com. Digital downloads are available through iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon, and Google play.
