Halali
Halali's
repertoire spans the gamut from lively jigs and reels to more sensitive slow
numbers and inspiring vocals. They perform new music, as well as timeless
traditional classics, and cleverly arranged covers.
The founding members of Halali -- Hanneke, Laura, and Lissa -- hail from extreme corners of the United States, but met in California at Alasdair Fraser's school for Scottish fiddling when they were teenagers.
They formed a friendship that lasted until
they relocated to Boston, where they attend music school. Each fiddler
brings her distinct style to the band, but all are influenced by a common
group of folk heroes in traditional genres such as Scottish, Irish,
Quebecois, Old Time (Appalachian), Cape Breton, and Scandinavian. This
produces a creative yet harmonious sound that has generated an enormously
positive response.
Each member of Halali also has numerous individual accomplishments.
