Arizona native Haley Blais captures a sound that embodies effortless, excitable energy to the core. Vancouver-based singer songwriter Haley Blais is a true force to be reckoned with: she cultivates an authentic presence onstage and in her music, Beyond the Salt is a refreshing breath air in a spirit that reflects coming of age.

At Small Talks, we’re leaning very high on nostalgic pop that feels timeless. If you’re feeling Claude, you’ll fall for Haley as we have. And don’t fret: If you’re needing a place to start, Haley is currently supporting Canadian sensation Peach Pit on their From 2 to 3 tour throughout this past month.

The set included a wide range of tracks from Haley’s debut album, and previous single releases. Standout moments of the night include, ‘Coolest Fucking Bitch in Town’ and ‘Small Foreign Faction’ kept the crowd hooked all night long.

The release of ‘‘Coolest Fucking Bitch in Town’ has us see Haley come into her own with a stripped, vulnerable sound that resonates with her audience.
