Abbey Arts presents: Halley Greg and Blair Borax live at Ballard HomesteadAbout this Event
HALLEY GREG: FACEBOOK
"Halley Greg is a 31-year-old singer-songwriter who blasted into the Seattle music scene in 2019 and has since quickly picked up steam and gained a devoted following. Formerly a high school science teacher, she discovered her love for songwriting at the age of 28 and then went from playing her first open mic to forming a band, recording a full studio album, and selling out her first headlining show in a mere nine months. In 2020, just before the pandemic hit, Greg decided to resign from teaching to focus on music. When the descent into COVID-19 lockdown threw a wrench in those plans, she submitted an audition video for Season 20 of NBC’s The Voice, and ended up landing first a blind audition, and then a spot on Team Kelly. Decidedly lyric-driven and intentionally sassy, Greg's first album, titled American Harlot, paints a picture of feminist empowerment, exploring non-traditional relationship narratives and poking repeatedly at the patriarchal and puritanical roots of American society. She has been called "the love child of Katy Perry and Joan Jett," with a pure, crooning voice that juxtaposes entrancingly with her edgy, bluesy rock 'n roll music. Her recently-released second album, Straitjacket, is an exploration of the societal tensions and vulnerability we experienced collectively throughout the pandemic."

BLAIR BORAX: WEBSITE
"Blair Borax is a singer-songwriter, in the likes of Fiest, Regina Spektor, and Adrienne Lenker of Big Thief, who writes lyrically-driven folk-pop songs to process big feelings, make sense of the strange and beautiful human experience, and keep moving forward. With vocal stylings reminiscent of 1920s jazz, songwriting that is unafraid to tackle the taboo, and pop melodies that stay with you for days, a Blair Borax performance will invite you into feeling your deepest emotions and leave you feeling less alone.
After releasing her first EP ‘everything is light work’ in May of 2021, Blair released her debut full-length album 'Keep Walking' in June 2022. 'Keep Walking' will take you on an emotional journey about moving forward, with your head held high, in the face of challenges, and it is the perfect companion to help you keep walking too."
-Artist Bio
"With rich lyrics and a voice like molasses, Blair Borax makes music that moves you to the heart of being human, offers you a warm cup of tea, and invites you to stay a while."
