Hale Baskin and her Jazz Addiction will bring your Festival to Life!
Hale Baskin is endowed with a clear, beautiful voice, a sure sense of swing, and a seemingly innate sense of the nuances of Jazz phrasing. She moves effortlessly from channeling the songbirds of the 1940's Big Bands to Ella Fitzgerald-inspired Jazz favorites to Motown classic soul to down-home blues. Performing with the pros since the age of thirteen, Hale has a bio which could be attached to an entertainment veteran twice her age. By the time she had her nineteenth birthday, Hale was awarded three Down Beat Magazine Student Awards for Jazz performances, recorded two full length CD's, won a scholarship to Berklee School of Music Summer Program, selected as featured vocalist for the SF Jazz All-Stars High School Jazz Orchestra, performed with such notables as Arturo Sandoval, Count Basie Orchestra, Mike Vax Big Band as well as scores of first call jazz musicians at San Francisco Bay Area's best local venues, toured Europe twice with her high school Advanced Jazz Orchestra and led her own jazz ensemble booking venues in four Western States.
But the best part is...You will get to see her up close and personal when she takes the stage at your festival! Hale is now providing her talent in Central Texas to folks who wish to make their event a guaranteed success. Hale and her associates are right on top of it to make sure your festival music is as good as it can be. You can't do a "retake" on your festival and this is why we work closely with each client to help find the right fit from an intimate duo all the way up to a swingin' 18-piece BIG BAND. Hale will be a great choice for any venue/stage size, budget, or audience taste.
Want to kick the Festival into high gear? Hales' "Little Big Band" can do that too. The songs of Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Stevie Wonder, Tower Of Power, Al Green and other Soul and Motown hit makers are in our private reserve playlist. Looking for something in particular? Just ask!
Let us know what you need and we will take good care of you. Regards,
