Cute -- OK, so I think that the thread name needs to be updated to "Haley played/slayed Lollapalooza" or some such thing.

Quote:She's the first American Idol finalist to have her own set at Lollapalooza, and the fans came out in support.
There was a sizable crowd at the BMI Stage for her 1:10pm set on Friday. Reinhart has a big smile, and it was on display throughout her performance. The Wheeling native had quite the age range in the crowd - from toddlers to their grandparents.
Here are a few shots I snapped during the show.

Reinhart hopes Lollapalooza concert boosts her profile
By Matt Arado
Wheeling native Haley Reinhart, a former “American Idol” contestant who recently released her debut album, will take the Lollapalooza stage shortly after 1 p.m. Friday, the first day of the fest.
Reinhart's danceable, soul-infused brand of pop isn't the norm at Lollapalooza, but that's what has her so excited about performing there.
“It will give me a chance to really make my name,” she said. “The fact that I'm the first 'Idol' to do this, and that I'll be playing for people who might not be familiar with me — I feel like this is a great way to break out a bit, build my audience.”
Lollapalooza is one of the biggest music festivals in the country. Well over 100 bands — the headliners include the Black Keys, Jack White and a reunited Black Sabbath — will perform on eight stages throughout the weekend. It's expected to draw 300,000 people to Grant Park during its three-day run.
Reinhart looks at Lollapalooza as another milestone on a journey that began with “Idol,” continued during the American Idols LIVE! Tour and gained momentum with the recent release of her album “Listen Up!”
“I'm so thrilled about it — I still think it's crazy to see my name on a lineup that includes the Black Keys, Black Sabbath, the Shins,” she said. “As soon as I get near Grant Park (on Friday), I know I'm going to start losing control.”
Music industry experts say that performing at a festival like Lollapalooza remains a powerful way for an artist to get noticed and heard, and that interest can build weeks ahead of time.
Josh Zanger, a publicist for Chicago label Bloodshot Records, said the label received a slew of inquiries about JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound, a Bloodshot act that will play Lollapalooza at noon on Saturday, as soon as the lineup was announced.
“They'd been climbing for awhile, but that announcement put more focus on them,” Zanger said. “Many people look at a gig like Lollapalooza as a big step foreword.”
Still, Zanger and others said Lollapalooza isn't likely to lead to immediate multiplatinum success. The fest's massive size is one issue; bands often play simultaneously on the various stages, dividing the crowd.
Arnold Pan, music editor at the online magazine PopMatters.com, said another issue is the fact that Lollapalooza and similar fests have stretched their musical scope a bit too wide.
“Because these current festivals have become so broad in the musical genres they feature — basically being all things to all audiences — what does it really mean to say a band is playing (California music fest) Coachella or Lollapalooza?” Pan said via email. “Playing in a festival these days doesn't create a mental picture of what a band is like.”
Pan added, though, that it would never hurt an up-and-coming artist or band to step onto the Lolla stage.
“Even if you're a bit player in the festival, there are hundreds of other bands who'd love to switch places with you.”

Someone on IF observed this tweet from Courtney likely indicates Haley has a new drummer. That's probably right.

I was thinking he was the soundman but he is apparently a drummer. "LaRoi Larkin, originally from Detroit, began playing drums and gravitated towards music at an early age at home..." http://www.myspace.com/390530000 Video of him playing drums, uploaded by Courtney Leonard two years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjpodSPuYcM Judging by his tweets, he seems to be somewhat religious, like Keith.
Was married last June:
Quote:LaRoi Larkin : Born September 4, 1981 to Reverend LeRoy and Marla Larkin. Originally from Detroit, MI. Moved to California in 2008 to pursue his career in music. Graduated from Bethune Cookman University with a Bachelors degree in Music Education. He is a Musician (drummer), Producer, and teacher. He Loves Jesus and keeps God as his focus in everything he puts his mind to do. His favorite scripture is John 3:16.
