Daryl Hall Hangs With Cash Money's Kevin Rudolf As They "Let It Rock" Live From Daryl's House!

For the 14th edition of Live from Daryl’s House, debuting Dec. 15, Daryl Hall joins with Kevin Rudolf, the first-ever pop/rock signing to the famed New Orleans hip-hop label Cash Money Records, founded by brothers Ronald “Slim” Williams and Bryan “Baby” Williams, and the home of multi-platinum rap star Lil’ Wayne.

In the latest installment, Daryl joins with the charismatic New York City born-and-raised Rudolf, whose first single, “Let It Rock,” featuring Lil Wayne, was the most added at Top 40 radio when it was released last September.

That will be one of the songs Daryl and Kevin will perform together on http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/, along with several tracks from Rudolf’s debut album, In the City, including “Welcome to the World,” the title track and “I Song,” performed acoustically with Daryl Hall and band members T-Bone Wolk on guitar, Eliot Lewis on keyboards and percussionist Everett Bradley. The pair will also join forces on a trio on the Hall and Oates standard “She’s Gone” and an acoustic version of the seasonal “Everyday Will Be Like a Holiday,” from H&O Christmas album, Home For Christmas. The set will climax with an acoustic version of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.”

Rudolf was an in-demand contributor/producer/guitar player sitting in on sessions with everyone from Timbaland to LL Cool J and Black Eyed Peas, signing with Cash Money as the label’s first Rock artist. The Williams brothers’ New Orleans label has been the home for platinum superstars Lil Wayne and Juvenile, as well as Baby’s performing alter ego Birdman and super duo, Big Tymers.

“Getting to play with Daryl Hall was an incredible experience,” said Rudolf. “I've always been a fan of his music and it was a great pleasure to get to meet him and spend time with his amazing band.”

Live from Daryl’s House has become a destination spot for showcasing unique collaborations between Daryl Hall and the latest in up-and-coming artists as well as veteran acts.

Past episodes of the series have featured a mix of well-known performers like Nick Lowe, K.T. Tunstall, Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy and Finger Eleven’s James Black and Rick Jackett, as well as newcomers such as Austin, TX-based acoustic guitarist and songwriter Monte Montgomery, Philly soul singer Mutlu, Canadian techno-rockers Chromeo and MySpace pop-rock phenom Eric Hutchinson. Daryl’s longtime partner John Oates has also been featured on a pair of installments.

Live from Daryl’s House started with Daryl’s “light-bulb moment” idea of “playing music with my friends and putting it up on the Internet,” and the show has subsequently been praised by such varied publications as Rolling Stone, Daily Variety, Yahoo and the influential Lefsetz Letter.
