Haley Joelle went on Instagram Live for WFNM. She came to us just outside Portland, Oregon. It was a short 3 song set. She started off with a bit of a hum and then cheered up greatly when her friend Chris came online and then found more joy when another friend, Sam, showed up. What thrilled me about the set was that she played her set on a piano. I loved hearing her playing those keys. Her vocals had a touch of Natalie Merchant and Edie Brickell, folk merging with pop. She takes her time with her vocals, never feeling the need to rush. She just lets the story come out as intended.
Her first song was about a break-up and how the other individual in the now finished relationship quickly starts dating someone else. Her second song was about a young person who died and meanwhile she continues to live and every year she gets older. Yes, a couple sad songs. Her last song was called "Emergency Contact" which was inspired by The Bachelor -- might sound cliché, but was brilliant.
