Bliss Hippy's song writing is deceptively simple, childlike and often funny - yet at the same time surprisingly profound.

(Bliss Hippy's) music strikes the perfect balance between meaningful, socially conscious messages and hilarious commentaries on life

They just make you want to smile and roll around in the grass

Who is Bliss Hippy Anyway

Bliss Hippy is Richard and Maureen Hall, a folk duo based in the Missouri Ozarks. They are two-time winners of the Great American Song Contest, and two-time finalists. Richard and Maureen have been sharing their music for more than 30 years, touring from coast to coast, and releasing a number of albums. Their songs range from the sublime to silly; profound to down right irreverent, and everything in between. Mostly original, mostly in tune, and always fun!

New Records! Looking for Artists and Authors! 

CALLING ALL WRITERS AND ARTISTS! Bliss Hippy needs your help! 

Bliss Hippy is back in the studio for the first time in four years with plans for 2, yes TWO records!!! We’ve booked a week in Centro Cellar Studio in Columbia, MO with engineer and music whisperer, Wil Reeves, over Christmas vacation 2018. 

One album will focus on spiritually uplifting songs (with that strange and wonderful Bliss Hippy twist). And the other album titled “When God Farts” will include other sorts of songs :) . 

We need your help with … 

1) A title for the spiritually uplifting album. 
2) Art for the cover of the spiritually uplifting album. 
3) Art for the “When God Farts” album 

The winner of each category (judged by a panel of 2) will get … 

1) $50 cash 
2) Bliss Hippy tie-dye t-shirt 
3) A CD of each of the new albums 
4) Acknowledgement  

Email questions and submissions to Richard (richard@blisshippy.com) 

We anticipate announcing winners by the end of January 2019.
