Haale at Club Helsinki, Great Barrington, MA. 3 February 2006. Presented by Projectile Arts.

"Haale's voice was playful, sultry, and nuanced; she could wail over the din as well as coax a melody out of her breath. She stood her ground and sang; despite the Sufi roots, she wisely left the twirling interpretive dance routines to others. A rocking ode to Jimi Hendrix?s stint as a paratrooper was a pea in a pod to a rocking version of an ancient Iranian folksong. A quiet mid-set song, with only the strings behind her, was a perfect piece of melodic chamber-pop, without a hint of exotica, but not a bit out of place. The 90-minute set seemed to pass in a blink."
