Storytelling is at the core of Marley Hale’s songwriting. She tells her stories in unexpected ways, scattered with biting honesty and balanced with moments of tenderness and self-reflection. Hale's distinctly resonant and commanding voice falls somewhere between Karen Dalton's eerie warble and Loretta Lynn's classic country twang, with all the yearning to match. Born in Texas and raised in California, Hale cut her teeth performing solo in cafés, bars and backyard shows in her formative years before moving to Brooklyn, New York, where she has honed her unconventional Americana sound into something completely her own.
