Get to Know Hailey

Hailey Verhaalen is an undeniable talent. Whether she's serenading packed rooms at places like the Bluebird Café in Nashville, or getting a ‘yes’ from all three judges on ABC’s American Idol – her voice remains as authentic as her story telling. “I've been singing ever since I can remember - my very first performance was at my third grade talent show, and I just kind of fell in love with performing from there and never stopped.”

 

Born and raised in Oregon City, OR, Hailey spent the early days of her career capturing the hearts of fans throughout the Pacific Northwest. As gritty and hardworking as she is talented, she further developed her craft by performing every chance she got – from rodeos, to festivals and fairs, to singing the national anthem at NBA games. In 2016, Hailey made the tough choice to uproot her life and move across the country to pursue her calling as a country singer in Nashville, Tn.

 

She’s shared the stage with major artists such as Deana Carter, Love and Theft, James Otto, Colt Ford, Craig Wayne Boyd, and The Moonshine Bandits. Her EP ‘The Real Stuff’ peaked at  #9 on the iTunes Country Music Chart and received praise for its honesty with which it approached topics across the board from love and heartbreak to ballin’ on a budget and loving every minute of it. She gets radio play throughout the Pacific Northwest and continuously releases new originals from personal experiences in her life to streaming platforms. Listen to Hailey's music here.
