BUFFALO, NY – Kleinhans Music Hall and Soul of Buffalo are pleased to present Haley Reinhart in the Mary Seaton Room on Wednesday, June 26 at 7:30 PM.
A timeless voice outlasts eras. It feels just as home in the sixties as the TikTok age. Haley Reinhart brandishes such a voice. The expansive scope of her range comes into full focus on her 5th solo release, Off The Ground.
In many ways, Haley began working towards the album and her artistry as a child. Mom and dad share a “Midnight Band,” and unsurprisingly, their daughter would sing before she could talk. She spent countless hours engaged in rhyming games with her mom or locked into a call-and-response as a baby with her father.
In 2009, Haley was the first songstress to join her high school jazz band to perform at both the Montreux and Umbria jazz festivals. Her fascination with all things classic continued as she became a fan of The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Ella Fitzgerald and Sly & The Family Stone. These influences led her to record at Sunset Sound, paying homage to classic rock and pop hits from the late sixties titled. Haley performs regularly with Robby Krieger of The Doors among other rock legends.
The double platinum-certified Chicago-born/Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter exudes an empowering level of charisma and confidence earned by a quiet, decade-long grind. Haley landed third place and became a fan favorite on season 10 of American Idol. She recently returned to AI, this time as a mentor, coaching contestants in the Soul Genre.
Her dynamic presence has powered four previous solo albums— Listen Up! [2012] Interscope, Better [2016] Red Dot, What’s That Sound? [2017] Concord, and Lo- Fi Soul [2019] on her own label. Haley has been known to leave her mark on countless films and commercials, singing in the new Mazda ad, for Chase Bank, as well as on TV shows including Love Island, Gossip Girl, Nashville, Riverdale, The Wilds, America’s Got Talent, Dancing with the Stars, and more.
Meanwhile, her take on the Elvis Presley classic “Can’t Help Falling In Love” generated a remarkable 325 million Spotify streams and 100 million YouTube views within a few years of its release. What started off as a session sung for an Extra gum commercial turned out to be a chart-topping-radio hit and touring sensation by serendipity. Haley’s remake peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 31 on the Billboard Adult Pop Airplay chart.
