Halle Petro is a brooklyn based songwriter and vocalist, with two titles to her credit: Three Roads Home (April 2013) and Lucky You (February 2011), both which mix and match an unprecedented sound of jazz and country, blues, rock, pop and soul, pulled together by Petro's powerful vocal presence. 

Ms. Petro wrote lyrics and music, then further developed music and sound with collaborators. With influence drawn from artists such as Otis Redding, Patty Griffin, and Stevie Nicks to name a few, it was sitting in the front seat of her Dad’s station wagon and listening to Motown as a little girl that widely shaped her music.

After leaving a corporate job to pursue her full time career as a musician, Ms Petro has toured New England, the Midwest, the West Coast, and in November 2011 was featured as part of the Powerhouse Emerging Artist Series at Boston's famed Liberty Hotel. She has played several New York clubs such as City Winery and The Living Room, Joe's Pub, Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles and the famed Yoshi’s in San Francisco.

"Halle & The Jilt is a breath of fresh air." - The LA Examiner  
"When you're looking for a sultry, sophisticated soundtrack for your next cocktail party, you'd better be off with the gorgeous, bluesy sound of Petro, whose songs veer from Joni Mitchell folk to Otis Redding soul to Diana Krall jazz. It's heartache, but for grownups." - Town & Country
"some really lovely music ... it catches the ear right from the first few notes and continues all the way through." - Cleveland NPR
"her self-released debut album ... shows an artist with a unique musical innocence and lack of snobbery, one not afraid to mix her fun, curious spirit with (Broadway's) trademark crispness." - The Boston Phoenix 
"group that draws from blues, folk, rock and jazz influences for a richly unique sound." - The NY Daily News
