Brooklyn-based indie-folk singer-songwriter Hallie Spoor’s compelling vocals and emotional storytelling have earned her the nickname “The Adele of Americana" (bolderbeat). "If you’re a fan of confessional lyrics and a strong, powerful voice,” writes 303 Magazine, “Spoor is your girl." Reminiscent of 1970s icons like Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell, Hallie’s music contains her own unique mix of “empathy and frankness,” (Radio Free Brooklyn) a warmth infused with the Western grit that comes from a Colorado childhood spent wading in icy lakes and bushwhacking through willows. She attributes the warmth to her grandfather, a jazz pianist who played “Penthouse Serenade” and “Maple Leaf Rag” by ear while she sat next to him on the piano bench, feet dangling, watching his hands dance across the keyboard. His music was “the soundtrack of our house, of every holiday, of our lives. Papa’s music brought the whole family together.” That desire to create community through music fuels Hallie today, and audiences respond: “She invites the listener into the world through her eyes, and her music brings a lightness and accessibility to moments that probably affect every listener …” (Radio Free Brooklyn). She’s completed multiple national tours, playing iconic venues like The House of Blues and Hotel Cafe (LA), Dees Lounge (Nashville), The Hideout (Chicago), Rockwood Music Hall and Mercury Lounge in New York City. Hallie has three studio albums, two singles, and a series of music videos. Her 2020 EP New Ground has been streamed more than 90,000 times on Spotify. Spoor is set to release her new album, Heart Like Thunder, this fall.
