Elizabeth Mae "Lzzy" Hale[6] (born October 10, 1983)[7] is an American musician, best known as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of hard rock band Halestorm, which she co-founded with her brother Arejay Hale in 1997.

Career

Hale began writing and performing music in 1997, when she founded Halestorm with her brother Arejay Hale. She has since gained success as Halestorm's lead singer, and with guest appearances alongside artists such as Eric Church, Lindsey Stirling, Shinedown, Machine Gun Kelly, Black Stone Cherry, Seether, Adrenaline Mob, Ray Wylie Hubbard, the Hu, and Stone Sour.[8][9]

Revolver appearances

In the December 2009 issue of Revolver magazine, Hale appeared on the cover alongside former Landmine Marathon vocalist Grace Perry as one of the "Hottest Chicks in Metal".[10] For most years since, Hale has been listed as one of the magazine's "Hottest" either in the magazine and/or in its Hottest Chicks calendar. For the magazine's February/March 2015 issue, Hale appeared alone on the cover for both a feature article and once more as one of Revolver's "25 hottest chicks in hard rock and metal".[11]

Hale has also written the advice column "Ask Lzzy" for Revolver.[12]

Gibson promotion

In 2021, Gibson announced that Hale was being named the first female Gibson brand ambassador.[13] A long-time fan and user, Hale had previously partnered with Gibson to design the Limited Edition Lzzy Hale Explorer guitar.[14] As a brand ambassador, it was announced Hale would help create new signature models from Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer.[13]

During Halestorm's tour with The Pretty Reckless in 2022, Hale gifted a white Gibson Explorer to guitarist Daniela Villarreal from The Warning during the middle of their opening set.[15] The making of the guitar was a collaborative effort between Hale and Gibson.
