Emerging Artist: Haale

Posted by Scott



Iranian-American Haale Gafori is an intriguing character. Initially, she struck me as a bit of an Amy Lee type, but her music is more adventurous, with dramatic strings and dark, moody melodies. 'Mystical' is a word that comes to mind when listening to songs like "Ay Dar Shekasteh."

She's played Bonnaroo and SXSW, and now she's on a national tour that will have her visiting Pittsburgh on Thursday at the Thunderbird Cafe (figures, my neighborhood bar would start hosting national acts right after I moved to the other side of town.)
