About Haale
Born in Bronx, NY, Haale is a Persian-American vocalist, musician, and
songwriter. Within a year of picking up her guitar, she won over unassuming
audience at the HORDE tour, when she opened for Neil Young to share her
poetry-infused Music.
Blending ancient and contemporary instrumentals with elements of Western
Music, she has created works that simultaneously reflect her lyrical Persian
roots and her American post-funk/rock aesthetic.
She has been featured with her band on Fox Channel 5’s Good Day NY and on
91.5 WNYE. She performs frequently in NYC.

About Shabe Sher
Shabe Sher is a politically and religiously agnostic gathering formed solely to better familiarize less than dextrose Iranian-speaking individuals with the works of such superlative poets as Hafez, Rumi, Saedi, Baba Taher, and over a hundred other great poets. The events are freely structured; that is, you are not required to read, speak, or do anything whatsoever. Simply come equipped with a deep passion for life and a voracious thirst for learning about the Iranian culture.
Shabe Sher is regularly held on the second Tuesday (or Wednesday) of every month at the Bowery Poetry Club.
