Hailey Tuck Live Music & Concerts

American-born, Paris resident Hailey Tuck returns to Hideaway bringing her unique vintage stylings and beautiful jazz sensibilities to Hidea

"A jazz singer from the most unlikely of backgrounds..."
Born and raised in Austin, Texas, with a Baptist Military Boarding School education, 25 year-old Hailey Tuck is a jazz singer from the most unlikely of backgrounds.On her 18th birthday, her parents presented Hailey with a college fund to further her education and she did what any teenager with a love of 30s jazz, vintage dresses and Edith Piaf would do: She bought a one-way ticket to Paris and boarded the plane.

Arriving in Paris in the early hours of the morning, Hailey took a taxi across town to Voltaire, an area of Paris in the lively 11th arrondissement. During the course of the journey, a lengthy chat (in English) with the driver led to him setting Hailey a challenge; sing the whole of Edith Piaf’s ‘La Vie En Rose’ in French and the cab is free. One perfect rendition later, a stunned Parisian taxi driver departed out of pocket. With nowhere to stay, Hailey dropped into the nearest bar, got talking to a young American couple, and after explaining her situation, was offered a place to stay whilst she found her feet in Paris. Hailey was there six months, joining a long tradition of musicians who sang for their supper.

Spending her days in vintage clothing markets and record stalls, and her nights singing in the plethora of jazz bars, Hailey quickly established herself as a firm favourite on the underground scene. Dressed straight out of a F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, with a uniquely captivating voice that sits somewhere between Billie Holiday, Regina Spektor and Ella Fitzgerald, Hailey captivated her audience with classics such as ‘My Funny Valentine’.
