Halle Pollay - Director
Halle grew up in Memphis, TN, doing homework in red velvet theater chairs while her mother rehearsed as a singer and dancer on stage. Halle's first musical job at age 10 was a page turner for the pianist for her mother's shows. She received voice lessons through osmosis there and then had more formal training in her teens. Halle has been writing songs and singing in various bands since the early 90's, and most recently recorded back up vocals for Madison's own Infantry Rockers on the highly successful dub inspired tribute to Joe Strummer, "Shatter the Hotel." Halle also works as a finance accountant and is superbly organized.
