Indie-folk singer-songwriter Hallie Spoor has often been described as an "old soul." She’s a warm and honest storyteller who wears her heart on her sleeve, and whether it’s in her stage banter or her lyrics, you'll likely hear something at a show that will make you feel like you just talked to an old friend. Hallie is currently recording her 3rd album, set to release in 2022 and will likely hit the road in this spring to spread the word. Based out of Bedstuy, Brooklyn, she spends most of her time with her rescue tomcat, Mac Attack. The New Students perform original songs in an eclectic blend of folk, roots, bluegrass and Americana traditions. Tight three-part vocal harmonies, skilled acoustic instrumentation, and thoughtful lyrics make up their signature sound that has been delighting East Coast audiences for over a decade. Combining poetry with conscience, humor with integrity, and—most of all—classic with modern, The New Students evoke the pioneering spirit of the 1960s. Truly, they are new students of an old school.
