Haley McNeil is a powerhouse young vocalist —from Teeswater, Canada— fast emerging onto London Ontario's flourishing music scene.
With her rich nostalgic blend of Contemporary Country & Classic Southern Rock —influences from Miley Cyrus to Stevie Nicks, Lainey Wilson to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Zach Bryan to Janis Joplin— Haley’s sound resonates with audiences of all ages and music genre preferences.
She debuted her first original song “Guardian Angel” live onstage, at the age of 13, and released her first original single “Dear Future Self” on Spotify in March 2020. The latter was named *SONG OF THE DAY* by Front Porch Music within a few short weeks of its release.
In the Spring of 2024, Haley completed her final year at Fanshawe's acclaimed “Music Industry Arts” Program (MIA) —where she was honoured with two awards: "Artist of The Year" and "Roots Vocalist of The Year"— in addition to touring with the London City Roots concert series.
Haley will be performing in the Emerging Artist Showcase at the “North of Nowhere Music Festival" on July 19th. She was also selected as one of the Top 6 Finalists for "Lucknow's Music in the Fields" Emerging Artist Showdown 2024.
After much deliberation… We present to you the Top 6 Finalists for Lucknow's Music in the Fields "Emerging Artist Showdown" 2024: Bree Taylor, Cam Bogle, Colt McLauchlin, Haley McNeil, Maddy McKenzie, and Small-Town Strip Club.

Haley McNeil is a powerhouse of a singer that is completely at home on the stage, in the studio recording vocals or in a quiet room writing songs with her guitar. She has the kind of voice that people will fall in love with as soon as they get the chance to hear her.
I had the privilege of introducing the budding monster talent of Haley McNeil to some friends back home in Wisconsin. Starting out at the Branding Iron and then playing an after party… both places she commanded the room to stunned silence. She’s humble, has her head on straight and I can’t wait to see what she does.
The song of the day today is a really beautiful one! It's "Dear Future Self" from Emerging Canadian country artist Haley McNeil. Pay attention to this great voice!
