**Tally Hall** (sometimes stylized as **tallyhall**) is an American [rock](/source/Rock_music) band formed in [Ann Arbor, Michigan](/source/Ann_Arbor%2C_Michigan), in December 2002, and publicly active until the conclusion of their [*Good & Evil*](/source/Good_%26_Evil_(album)) tour in 2011. The band's current line-up consists of guitarists Joe Hawley and [Rob Cantor](/source/Rob_Cantor), bassist Zubin Sedghi, keyboardist Andrew Horowitz and drummer Ross Federman. The band is known for its eclectic musical style, extensive use of vocal harmonies, and matching outfits featuring white button up shirts, colored neckties, and after 2008, black vests. The members originally described their musical style as "wonky rock", later redefining their sound as "fabloo" ([/fəˈbluː/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) [*fə-BLOO*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key)[1]), to not let any particular genres define their music after critics began defining the characteristics of "wonky rock".[2]

Once under the [Atlantic Records](/source/Atlantic_Records) recording label, Tally Hall was, again, signed to the indie label Quack! Media, who previously helped finance and nationally distribute their debut studio album, *[Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum](/source/Marvin's_Marvelous_Mechanical_Museum_(album))* on October 24, 2005. They released their second album, *[Good & Evil](/source/Good_%26_Evil_(album))*, on June 21, 2011.

Certain Tally Hall members (Cantor, Hawley and Sedghi) also provided the vocals and music for all of the songs along with [Tara Jayne Sands](/source/Tara_Jayne_Sands) in *[Happy Monster Band](/source/Happy_Monster_Band)*, a [children's television series](/source/Children's_television_series) that aired on [Playhouse Disney](/source/Playhouse_Disney).

## History

### Early years and *Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum*

Andrew Horowitz, born in [Warren, New Jersey](/source/Warren%2C_New_Jersey),[3] began writing songs when he was eight years old and studied composition at the [University of Michigan](/source/University_of_Michigan). There he met [Rob Cantor](/source/Rob_Cantor), who had attended high school with Zubin Sedghi.[4] Cantor and Sedghi had previously played in a band named listedBlack when both were in highschool.[5] The three soon decided to play music together, going under the name 540 and playing small shows at the university. At the same time, fellow Michigan student Joe Hawley was studying film, and had formed the sketch comedy group anonyMous. Cantor eventually joined this group, and through this connection soon invited Hawley to join 540 upon learning he could play guitar, and had some musical experience writing songs for his film projects. The lineup was rounded out by drummer Steve Gallagher, and they soon went under various other names, such as Gallagher and PartyBoobyTrap. They eventually settled on Tally Hall, named after a local mall's food court.[6] This lineup recorded various demo EPs, which were later collected and released as *[Complete Demos](/source/Complete_Demos)* in November 2004. Before the release however, Gallagher suddenly left the group in May of that year. He was replaced by Ross Federman, who had attended the same high school as Hawley, after the latter heard him bragging about his drum skills while passing by his dorm.

On October 24, 2005, the band released their debut studio album, *[Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum](/source/Marvin's_Marvelous_Mechanical_Museum_(album))*, with violinist [Jeremy Kittel](/source/Jeremy_Kittel) contributing strings.[7] They were awarded first place in the Pop category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2005 with the song "Just Apathy" from the album.[8] They re-released the album on September 12, 2006,[2] on the local label Quack! Media.[9] Tally Hall went on to receive national media attention, performing their song "Good Day" on *[The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson](/source/The_Late_Late_Show_with_Craig_Ferguson)* on August 2, 2006, as well as appearing in [MTV](/source/MTV)'s segment "[You Hear It First](/source/You_Hear_It_First)" in September 2006.[2] The band appeared at the 2007 [South by Southwest](/source/South_by_Southwest) Music Festival.[10] They signed to [Atlantic Records](/source/Atlantic_Records) in March 2007 and re-recorded their first album, releasing it on April 1, 2008. In August 2008, Tally Hall was a performer on the BMI stage at [Lollapalooza](/source/Lollapalooza).[11]

Tally Hall was invited back by *[The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson](/source/The_Late_Late_Show_with_Craig_Ferguson)* on September 16, 2008, to help promote the launch of *Tally Hall's Internet Show*. They performed "Welcome to Tally Hall" in newly donned black vests on top of their traditional colored ties, white shirts, and black pants.[12] The band worked on several projects after the completion of *Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum*, including covering the song "[Smile Like You Mean It](/source/Smile_Like_You_Mean_It)" by [The Killers](/source/The_Killers) for the sixth *[The O.C.](/source/The_O.C.)* soundtrack: *[Music from the OC: Mix 6](/source/Music_from_the_OC%3A_Mix_6)*.

### Tours and *Good & Evil*

On September 9, 2009, Tally Hall released the song "[Light & Night](/source/Light_%26_Night)", featuring [Nellie McKay](/source/Nellie_McKay), as a free download when customers of [Walmart](/source/Walmart) purchased *[The Magician's Elephant](/source/The_Magician's_Elephant)* by [Kate DiCamillo](/source/Kate_DiCamillo), published the same day.[13]

In the band's 2010 March tour with [Jukebox the Ghost](/source/Jukebox_the_Ghost) and [Skybox](/source/Skybox_(band)), Joe Hawley backed out of the tour and was subsequently replaced with Casey Shea, who wore a black tie, and filled in for him for the rest of their live shows that year. On March 25, 2011, the band announced that all five original band members were still together.[14] Later in the year, the band changed their management from The Hornblow Group, who also manages [They Might Be Giants](/source/They_Might_Be_Giants), [OK Go](/source/OK_Go), and [Oppenheimer](/source/Oppenheimer_(band)), to Stiletto Entertainment, who manages solo performance acts such as [Barry Manilow](/source/Barry_Manilow).[15][16]

Their second album, *[Good & Evil](/source/Good_%26_Evil_(album))*, was released in 2011 under their original label, Quack! Media.[17] The album had been recorded in late 2009, but due to repeated delays caused by their deal with Atlantic Records falling apart, it was released two years after it had originally been recorded. To promote the album, the band held a contest where the winner would be awarded a song written about them. The winner was a high school student named Nathan Naimark, whose self-titled theme song would be released soon after.[18] Around the same time, the band released a cover of the [Flo Rida](/source/Flo_Rida) song "[Club Can't Handle Me](/source/Club_Can't_Handle_Me)", with Shea on guest vocals.[19] According to Horowitz, the origin of the cover came from a suggestion the band had made to Atlantic Records, where they would record and release covers of other artists signed to the label weekly, with the song presented as an example. The label rejected the idea, leading the band to release the song after they had parted ways with them.[20] The band proceeded to go on a summer US tour in support of *Good & Evil*, with friend of the band Bora Karaca, wearing an orange tie, joining them as a touring member on multiple instruments. The band played their last show on August 20, 2011, at [Mr. Smalls Theatre](/source/Mr._Smalls) in [Millvale, Pennsylvania](/source/Millvale%2C_Pennsylvania).

After the release of *Good & Evil* and its tour, Tally Hall became inactive with all band members going on to independent endeavors, though some of the projects had multiple members collaborate once again.

### Solo work after *Good & Evil*

Andrew Horowitz, under the moniker "edu", released the solo album *sketches* (later re-released as *sketches 3d*) in 2012.[21] He additionally provided production and piano on [John Legend](/source/John_Legend)'s *[Love in the Future](/source/Love_in_the_Future)*.[22] In 2018, Horowitz released *etudes*, a studio album of piano compositions written in 2003. A sequel titled *etudes II* was released in April 2019, featuring compositions written in 2005 while he attended the University of Michigan. In May 2020, he started a weekly [Instagram](/source/Instagram) livestream series titled *Keep Up The Good Work*, featuring interchanging guests such as Federman and Sedghi.[23][24] On April 29, 2024, Andrew Horowitz was announced to be performing at the Michigan concert series Sonic Lunch.[25]

Ross Federman has made occasional appearances as a producer, percussionist, and [DJ](/source/Disc_jockey) under the pseudonym "Mr. F", although he has primarily focused on his education. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in [cell and molecular biology](/source/Cell_and_molecular_biology),[26] later receiving a Ph.D. in [immunology](/source/Immunology) from [Yale University](/source/Yale_University) in May 2019.[27]

Joe Hawley released a single titled "Variations on a Cloud" on September 11, 2012, under the name ミラクルミュージカル (Miracle Musical),[28] later releasing the [concept album](/source/Concept_album) *Hawaii: Part II* on December 12, 2012. Tally Hall members Federman and Karaca additionally worked on the album, with Sedghi and Cantor appearing on the album's tracks "White Ball" and "Time Machine", respectively. Hawley has been vague regarding the overarching story behind the album, at one point citing the [September 11 attacks](/source/September_11_attacks) as inspiration, however this has been contradicted in other interviews. Several songs from the album, such as "Murders", "The Mind Electric" and "Dream Sweet in Sea Major" have since achieved popularity on [TikTok](/source/TikTok) and other social media.[29] An album featuring demos and samples titled *Hawaii: Part II: Part ii* and a cover of "[Candle on the Water](/source/Candle_on_the_Water)" was released in 2014 under the same name. An album of 6 8-bit renditions titled *Hawaii Partii* released in 2015 as the soundtrack for the promotional game *Labyrinth*.[21]

In 2014, Bora Karaca—often referred to as the "honorary sixth member" of Tally Hall—released a self-titled album under their avant-garde music project Cojum Dip. The album was originally released on Bandcamp on January 12, 2014, and later became available on Spotify in November 2019. Tally Hall member Joe Hawley contributed musically to the project.[30]

Rob Cantor released his solo album *[Not a Trampoline](/source/Not_a_Trampoline)* on April 14, 2014. In addition, he has made several [viral videos](/source/Viral_video) on [YouTube](/source/YouTube), including "[Shia LaBeouf](/source/Shia_LaBeouf_(song))", "Christian Bale Is At Your Party",[31] and "29 Celebrity Impressions, 1 Original Song".[32] In recent years, Cantor has written and produced songs for several [Disney Junior](/source/Disney_Junior) shows.[33]

In mid-2016, Hawley announced a solo album *Joe Hawley Joe Hawley*, which was released in October under his name on [Bandcamp](/source/Bandcamp). All five Tally Hall members and other artists are individually featured. The album was later taken down due to sampled copyrighted music. To avoid issues with [copyright](/source/Copyright), Hawley released *γɘlwɒH ɘoႱ γɘlwɒH ɘoႱ* on April 16, 2019, a reversed version of the album, to Bandcamp and Spotify. On November 11, 2020, a truncated version of the original album was uploaded to [Apple Music](/source/Apple_Music) and [Spotify](/source/Spotify), removing the 13th and final track (a cover of rock band [Jefferson Airplane](/source/Jefferson_Airplane)'s "[White Rabbit](/source/White_Rabbit_(song))"). The latter was due to copyright issues he could not resolve.[21]

Zubin Sedghi, aside from appearing in side projects, shifted his focus towards his personal life.[34] In 2012, he graduated from the University of Michigan with an undergraduate honors degree in [neuroscience](/source/Neuroscience), later receiving a doctorate in [osteopathic medicine](/source/Doctor_of_Osteopathic_Medicine) at [Touro University California](/source/Touro_University_California) in 2016.[35] He now works as a family medicine doctor for [Kaiser Permanente](/source/Kaiser_Permanente) in [Orange County, California](/source/Orange_County%2C_California).[36] Sedghi is married with two children.[23]

In 2015, Tally Hall released the demo [LP](/source/LP_record) *Admittedly Incomplete Demos* on [Bandcamp](/source/Bandcamp), referencing their earlier collection *[Complete Demos](/source/Complete_Demos)*. It includes demos, unreleased songs, live performances, and studio covers of "[The Minstrel Boy](/source/The_Minstrel_Boy)" and "[Just A Friend](/source/Just_A_Friend)". The latter was re-released in August 2019 as a single and included as a bonus track on the 2021 re-issue of *Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum*. In April 2022, 2 new demos were added: "Welcome to Tally Hall (Reprise) (Demo)" and "Hymn For a Scarecrow (Demo)".[21]

On February 14th 2019 ([St Valentine's Day](/source/Valentine's_Day)), Joe Hawley released the single Weird Bed &/Or Yes Please along side a reversed version titled Yes Please &/Or Weird Bed. This song is sexual in nature which is contrasted by references to the attacks on [pearl harbor](/source/Pearl_Harbor) and [nuclear warfare](/source/Nuclear_warfare). As of November 9th, 2023, Yes Please &/or Weird Bed was taken off of streaming services, likely due to Joe cutting ties with distribution service [DistroKid](/source/DistroKid).

On December 25th 2020, Joe Hawley released the song "Sleigh Ride Invincibility Star" to streaming services, although the song was originally produced in 2011[37]. The 2020 release features new album artwork drawn by a member of the [Needlejuice Records](/source/Needlejuice_Records) [Discord](/source/Discord) server. The song is a cover of "[Sleigh Ride](/source/Sleigh_Ride)" by [The Ronettes](/source/The_Ronettes), and it interpolates the theme of "Powerful Mario" from the [Super Mario](/source/Super_Mario) series, as well as the "Great Fairy's Fountain" theme from [The Legend of Zelda](/source/The_Legend_of_Zelda) series.

In 2021, [Needlejuice Records](/source/Needlejuice_Records) re-issued *Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum* on [vinyl](/source/Vinyl_record), [CD](/source/CD), and [cassette](/source/Cassette_tape), releasing a [MiniDisc](/source/MiniDisc) in June to coincide with International MiniDisc Day.[28][38] On August 26, 2022, pre-orders for a re-issue of *Good & Evil* went public alongside a 7" vinyl for "Turn the Lights Off" with the aforementioned track on the A side and "Light & Night" on the B side.[39]

Since the band's hiatus, members have discussed if the band would return for a third album. Hawley has promised it on social media and Sedghi has jokingly stated that they would return if they received "thirty or forty million listeners a month" via a message for [Spotify Wrapped](/source/Spotify_Wrapped).[40] However, following allegations against Hawley,[21] Horowitz stated otherwise on the band's behalf, citing Hawley's mental health as a primary reason for the band not returning.[41][21]

For years, we've watched our friend battle mental illness. We've done what we could to try and help, but it's beyond our control. This is the primary reason there's no third album or plans to tour.

— Andrew Horowitz, on behalf of Tally Hall[41][21]

In 2025, Andrew Horowitz had been frequently opening for [Jukebox the Ghost](/source/Jukebox_the_Ghost) to promote his upcoming studio album, with guests such as Ross Federman, Bora Karaca, Illicit Ghost, and Rob Cantor and Zubin Sedghi performing on other dates, along with Joe Hawley and Casey Shea showing up to these performances as audience members.[42] They played multiple new songs from Horowitz's upcoming album, along with some songs never played live, such as "[Perfect](/source/Perfect_(Rob_Cantor_song))" by Rob Cantor. In 2024, Horowitz, along with Federman, Karaca and Illicit Ghost performed at Sonic Lunch, a music festival in Ann Arbor.[43] The following year in 2025, the four played again but featuring former band members Rob Cantor and Casey Shea.[44]

On Christmas Day, 2025, Joe Hawley released two new singles, entitled "Some People Eat Flowers out of Earnest Intent to Bring Heaven" and "6:09", with the latter being released to his Bandcamp page.[45][46]

On May 22nd, 2025, Andrew Horowitz released a new single in promotion of his new album titled "MONSTERS" featuring Illicit Ghost.[47] On July 24th of the same year Horowitz released another single featuring former Tally Hall members such as Rob Cantor, Zubin Sedghi, Bora Karaca, and Casey Shea titled "fishes."[48] These two singles were previously sold on cassette tapes at performances.[49] On February 16th, 2026, Andrew Horowitz released a third single featuring Illicit Ghost titled "Good Morning Mr. Butterfly."[50] Both "Good Morning Mr. Butterfly" and "MONSTERS" were released with music videos.

## Videos

While the band formed, Joe Hawley worked with the comedy sketch group AnonyMous. The group made several movies of humorous skits and music videos, the latter containing Tally Hall songs such as "Banana Man", which resulted in significant publicity on the website [Albino Blacksheep](/source/Albino_Blacksheep).

In August 2008, the band performed a three-song live video set for [LiveDaily](/source/LiveDaily) Sessions, including the songs "Good Day", "Be Born", and "Greener",[51] which premiered on August 28, 2008. They have appeared on [Fearless Music](/source/Fearless_Music) several times, playing songs such as "Be Born", "Ruler of Everything", "Misery Fell", "Good Day", and "Banana Man".

In July 2014, band member Rob Cantor released a video in which he appeared to perform his song "Perfect" by singing spot-on impressions of 29 celebrities. In the video, Cantor is accompanied by Andrew Horowitz on piano and backing vocals. The video received more than 7,000,000 views in 10 days. Shortly thereafter, Cantor revealed the video to be an elaborate hoax.[52]

### *Tally Hall's Internet Show* and music videos

On September 15, 2008, the band debuted the ten-part bi-weekly variety-show series *Tally Hall's Internet Show* (T.H.I.S.). Each episode ran 8–11 minutes long and was posted on their website. The content primarily included comedy sketches and music videos. Content included a "honk war", Horowitz in a bathtub filled with spaghetti and a sketch about the band members asking Sedghi questions about natural ketchup.[53] The first episode was titled after and featured a video for their single "Good Day", which was later released on YouTube. Other music videos created for the show include "Dream", "Welcome to Tally Hall", "Two Wuv", "The Whole World and You", "Greener", "Ruler of Everything", and "[Hidden in the Sand](/source/Hidden_in_the_Sand)". Videos for "Taken for a Ride" and "Turn the Lights Off" were additionally released outside of the show, with a music video for "&" being planned but abandoned before its release.[54]
