Haley did some comedic story telling last night at the IO West Theater for “Mo and Tell”, a “stand-up story telling elementary adventure”, hosted by Mo Collins who you may recognize from TV shows like MADtv, also Parks and Recreation.
As you may know, Haley is going to be the voice of a cartoon character in a new Netflix Animated Comedy Series “F is For Family” which is set to come out later this year. Haley’s been surrounded by nothing but hilarious voice-over actors and comics while working on the new show. She appears to be digging into her comedic/improv side herself and she did a wonderful job for it being her first show!
Enjoy this video from Haley’s hilarious segment at “Mo and Tell”:
Haley Reinhart will be performing at the IO West Theater for a comedy/improv show called “Mo and Tell”, hosted by Mo Collins from hit television shows “MADtv” and “Parks and Recreation”. The show is described to be “A stand-up, story-telling, elementary adventure. Kindergarten for adults, and a great hour of entertainment!”.
To attend, you must be 21 and over. The show takes place at the IO West Theater in Hollywood on Monday, January 5th 2015!
The lineup includes Haley Reinhart, Selene Luna, and Billy Butler. Tickets are only $5.00! For more info about this event and tickets, click here!
Postmodern Jukebox released a new video today. It features none other than Casey Abrams himself! This is the second time Casey has filmed with PMJ. The video has already reached 37,000 views in less than 24 hours.
Casey and the talented musicians (Jacob Scesney on clarinet, Adam Kubota on bass, Chip Thomas on drums, and Scott Bradlee on the piano) covered “Stacy’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne, in vintage 1930’s jazz fashion.
Haley is seen in the video dancing, while sitting on the bar in the background having a bit of fun. Despite this being Casey’s video, it was hard not to notice Haley!
Earlier in December Haley filmed a video with Postmodern Jukebox as well. The song and release date are still unknown, but Scott Bradlee of PMJ himself tweeted out that they will be releasing the video sometime at the beginning of the new year.
But here’s the catch…she will be playing a little boy named Bill!
Haley broke the exciting news on her Instagram account this week:
“Beyond excited guys! I can finally share that I will be making my VoiceOver debut in the @netflix original animated series titled, “F Is For Family!!!” Produced by the amazing #BillBurr#VinceVaughn#PeterBillingsley & #MichaelPrice We’ve already finished recording season one & it will debut same time next year – 2015! I will be playing the little boy in the family, Bill! Huge thanks to everybody involved.. Thanks for welcoming me with open arms! #FIsForFamily#Netflix#Gaumont #VoiceOver#WrapParty“
“F Is for Family” is slated to hit Netflix sometime in 2015, starting out with 6 episodes. Bill Burr (who you may recognize from Breaking Bad) is known for his edgy stand-up comedy, so expect the same from his up and coming new show. Some people may be surprised Haley is going to play a boy, but it is not unusual for a woman to voice a young boy for television. Many famous boy cartoon characters are voiced by women (Bart Simpson, Jimmy Neutron, Timmy Turner, etc.) Rumor has it, Haley’s character Bill will even sing from time to time, and more than likely is going to have a potty mouth!
Netflix said, “No-holds-barred, do whatever you want to do. It’s a cartoon about a family that looks like the normal Rockwell painting but it’s the real deal.” “Needless to say, the F word flies around quite a bit.” Those who are working on the show are having a lot of fun creating it, as you could imagine, with Netflix giving them the go-ahead to do whatever they want. One of the writers David Richardson said it’s the most fun he’s had in a writer’s room in 10 years. Nothing but laughs for the writers every single day.
This is great to hear. This is an awesome new role for Haley to pick up! Her resume is endless and continues to grow, and her talent is undeniable!
We cannot wait to watch F Is for Family, and see/hear Haley’s new cartoon character!
Haley Reinhart is collaborating with Scott Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox! They are known for taking current hit pop songs and turning them into older sounding jazz classics. They’ve taken songs such as Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off”, and also Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”, and turned them into entirely different sounding songs (in a very, very good way).
Their YouTube channel has been a huge success, they have almost 900,000 subscribers, and have millions of views on their videos. Their most popular video alone has over 11,000,000 views.
This is an awesome opportunity for Haley to show off her skills, and also just to have a little fun, hopefully gaining some new fans in the process! We don’t know what song Haley chose to perform with them yet, but we should find out soon! They filmed the video Saturday, December 6th.
Here’s our only sneak peek so far:
Be on the look out for Haley’s video coming soon. Until then, take a look at Casey Abram’s video he did with Scott and Postmodern Jukebox, putting a jazz spin on Sam Smith’s “I’m Not The Only One”.
Irvin Mayfield and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, featuring Haley Reinhart jazzed up Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, and Queen classics at the House of Blues in New Orleans this past Thursday night.
Jazz and classic rock are probably the top two genres that people love to hear Haley cover. So, when you combine the two, magic is bound to happen. An event like this is pretty unique and rare, which explains why the show was sold out.
Haley looked absolutely amazing in her one of a kind Alyce Paris gown:
Haley sang five songs, from a setlist that featured a total of thirteen songs:
Luckily for those who couldn’t be in attendence, @HaleysTusk was able to record each of Haley’s performances. Enjoy!
“Crazy Little Thing Called Love”
“The Man Who Sold the World”
“We Are The Champions”
“Smells Like Teen Spirit”
“Dazed and Confused”
Haley, Irvin, and the orchestra sounded absolutely stellar. Haley has now accompanied Irvin and the NOJO for a variety of events now. This one was by far the most epic of them all (for now). It’s great to see Haley reconnect to her jazz roots (in awesome fashion) every once in awhile thanks to Irvin. Can’t wait to see what’s in store next!
While down in New Orleans for the big House of Blues show that took place Thursday night with Irvin Mayfield and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, Haley Reinhart sat down for an hour-long admirable, and educating interview by none other than Irvin Mayfield himself at the University of New Orleans.
Irvin starts off with giving what appears to be a college class a brief summary about Haley and how her musical roots sprouted from her family in Chicago, and lists many of her big musical accomplishments over the years. For a good portion of the interview, Haley dishes out all of the details about what auditioning for American Idol is really like, on and off camera. You’ll definitely learn things you didn’t know about the show by watching this interview. Also, you’ll definitely learn things you didn’t know about Haley by watching this interview as well.
Irvin asks many questions about her life before, during, and after American Idol. Also what making the transition to Los Angeles, and pursuing her dreams has been like, the good and the bad!
This is a wonderful interview to watch. Haley’s humble, honest self, and her intelligence and insight on her career really make you respect her even more for the true artist and human being that she is. This is an interview that you do not want to miss. It’s a bit long, but well worth the watch!

Haley closed out the show featuring Dylan Chambers and Mark Ballas last Tuesday night at the Room 5 Lounge in Hollywood California. It was an awesome night, filled with great music and lots of talent. And I mean LOTS of talent considering half of the Dancing with the Stars cast seemed to be there to support their fellow cast mate Mark Ballas. Celebrities in attendance included Mark’s parents, Shirley and Corky Ballas. Also, Sadie and Korie Robertson, and Chrys Howard from the hit A&E TV show “Duck Dynasty”. Other dancers including Derek Hough, Witney Carson, Sasha Farber, Allison Holker, plus more were also there! Janel Parrish (actress from the popular TV show “Pretty Little Liars”) and Bethany Mota (Famous YouTube Video Blogger) who are both also on this season of Dancing with the Stars were in attendance as well.
Dylan Chambers opened the show with his own catchy originals, while showing off his guitar skills, and with memorable Prince and Amy Winehouse covers. Mark Ballas took the stage next, playing many songs off his recently released EP “Kicking Clouds”. He also gave an amazing performance of his song “She”, which he dedicated to his grandmother who had passed away last year. Haley closed the show with quite the memorable set, with guests Albert “Beatalks” Marzano on drums, Clare Reynolds and Casey Abrams on a few songs from the night.
Her 10 song setlist included:
Better
Wasted Tears
My Cake
Pathetic (New cover)
Knock Me Out (New song!)
Love is Worth Fighting For
All About That Bass (New cover)
Cry Me a River
Show Me Your Moves
Helter Skelter

You don’t want to miss the debut of Haley’s new song “Knock Me Out” accompanied by Clare Reynolds on the piano and backup vocals. Clare is a singer/songwriter who wrote this new song with Haley. She also co-wrote “Love is Worth Fighting For” as well, which Haley debuted a few months back at Room 5.
Also a first, Haley and Casey’s fun new cover which seems to be a fan favorite was Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”.
Another new cover was Eric Hassle’s “Pathetic”, which truly showcases Haley’s vocal abilities. This is a must see!
“@HaleyReinhart so stunning, gorgeous, and a voice of rich Velvet outstanding show tonight, and what a “Cake” UR lovely :)”
