Hal Michael Ketchum (born in Greenwich, New York on 9 April 1953; died 23 November 2020) was an American country musician, songwriter, and performer.
Though Ketchum first began recording in the mid-1980s, not until his 1991 record deal with Curb Records did he have a major hit with the album Past The Point Of Rescue. The title cut to the album was a Top 3 single, and other singles that met similar success included "Small Town Saturday Night" and "Sure Love".
