BURLINGTON CULTURAL MAPPING

22 year old Hayley Verrall is a driven, passionate and eclectic country musician. Her voice has been compared to those of Patsy Cline and Roseanne Cash, a reflection of the distinct and pure tones she inserts into every melody she sings. While she is most notable for her vocal prowess, she also provides superb self-accompaniment on guitar. Hayley's style has been described as a cross between Ashley McBryde and Maren Morris and her original music can be described as contemplative, yet bold and fun. The melodies are catchy and dynamic and the lyrics are sassy and real, easily engaging listeners and inviting participation. Hayley believes her purpose in life is to inspire and bring joy to others through music. She does this through Singing for Smiles, her program in which she brings classic country music to seniors' residences, nursing homes and long term care homes. While Hayley is a career singer/songwriter and performer, she regularly donates her time and talent to charitable causes in her hometown and surrounding communities and this earned her the distinction of being named 2018 Arts Person of the Year in Burlington, Ontario in May, 2019. In March, 2019 the North American Country Music Association, International awarded Hayley 2019 International Female Vocalist of the Year, 2019 Female Entertainer of the Year and Horizon Songwriter Award for her Nashville recorded debut single 'Like You Mean It', which was released to radio and all streaming platforms on July 12, 2019.
