No Cover — 7:00pm Show

We’re really excited to welcome Haley E Rydell to Animales. Haley has a way of pulling a room in quietly, with songs that feel intimate, grounded, and deeply human. One minute it’s delicate and reflective, the next it opens up into something big and soaring. A perfect fit for a summer evening at Animales.

Haley E Rydell is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist originally from Fargo, ND whose memorable melodies and honest lyrics have been making their way across the country. Rydell has been performing for nearly 20 years in a plethora of projects, most recently Ryan Necci & the Buffalo Gospel and The Lowland Lakers. Although best known for her top-notch fiddle playing and her Christine McVie-esque harmonies, the Minneapolis-based artist has been quietly making a name for herself as a first-rate songwriter. Now, with the release of her solo album Midwestern Daughter, she shows why her work has been called “Absolutely gorgeous, like Patty Griffin sitting in with The Weepies” (Denver Westword).
