Trevor Hall has a super-sleepy voice. It’s like those people who roll out of bed looking casually beautiful.

He sings about patience, forgiveness, hope, longing and the cosmos. You can almost feel the hemp fibers in this mellow music. Hall mixes chill reggae, Sanskrit chanting and hip-hop phrasing. He’s somewhere between Krishna Das, Matisyahu and Jack Johnson.

At 29, Hall is young, but he’s been at it a while, and he’s taken time off in recent years to study yoga and music in India. If you’re a crank who doesn’t like art to be soothing, has a gag reaction to fake patois, or if you’ve ever used the words “trustafarian” or “slam poetry” derisively — stay away.

But if you buy into the idea that music and song can have healing powers, and that singers can transform themselves through their openness to the feelings of others and through their connection to something timeless, Hall might be up your alley.

Trevor Hall performs at Fairfield Theater Company’s Warehouse, 70 Sanford St., Fairfield, Thursday, May 26, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $28. Information: 203-259-1036 or fairfieldtheatre.org.
