Full Bio:

The young front-woman and songwriter has just completed her debut solo record “Fortress” released March 24, 2015 with Republic Records-signed, Louisiana-based rockers Baby Bee (Joe and David Stark). “ZALE is certainly an artistic force to be reckoned with. Her voice carries her strongly through a wide variety of musical styles,” Joe Stark.

ZALE’S record is somewhat of an artistic experiment. Each song has been carefully crafted by the songwriter to fit the sole narrative of the individual song, rather than fitting all of the songs to one predetermined sound. This alternative Americana artist does not play by the rules of the industry; she has always followed the beat of her own drum and continues to do so in winning fashion.

Press Quotes:

“One thing is for certain: This Georgia Star is on the rise and here to stay.” Jezebel

“…a fiery combination of soul, grit, and Jack Daniels Honey.” - Casey Hamilton, Perimeter North Magazine (January, 2015)

“Dirty South TV recently had the pleasure of having Hannah Zale on one of our music television shows “The Acoustic Lunch Hour.” Hannah amazed us in every single way. She arrived to the set early, and ready for anything that we needed of her-sound check, lighting check etc. She was very easy to work with and had a very happy and positive demeanor. Then she sang. I honestly feel that there is no group of words that can properly describe Hannah’s singing, or her voice. It is breath-taking, and it will stop you dead in your tracks. It’s truly amazing that such a young woman knows so much about the human voice, and can do the things she does with hers. Even more amazing was her ability to harmonize with other vocalists-and even let them shine when it was clear she was the best singer in the room. She is a class act through and through. We would welcome Hannah on any of our TV shows in the future, and we cannot wait to hear her sing again.” - Giuseppe Colato, Dirty South TV (Jun 08, 2014)
