Haale (as in halle-lujah or jalepeno), is a Bronx-born woman of

Her band features Matt Kilmer on percussion and John Shannon on electric guitar. Haale has beeen recognized by CMJ for her “totally original songs”. Haale’s distincitve style and incendiary live shows have led her to perform at a David Byrne-curated series at Carnegie Hall and collaborate with Tchad Blake, Sean Lennon, and most extensively with producer and composer Dougie Bowne. 2007 opened with the release of two EPs, Morning and Paratrooper.

She released two mesmerizing EPs in January 2007: ‘Morning’ and ‘Paratrooper’ — and spent the year touring across the country and in Europe, at venues such as the Bonnaroo Festival, SXSW, and the Mimi Festival in France. She performed at David Byrne’s Nonesuch-sponsored series at Carnegie Hall, recorded with Sean Lennon (on ‘Before the Skies’), and shared the stage with such diverse artists as the legendary Hugh Masakela and Odetta.
