Remember when Haley was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, a member here suggested she was there to seal the deal with Irvin. Maybe she will be a "semi permanent" member, or "occasional" guest performer, of the traveling NOJO band. We know Irvin loves her. 
Don't know about the deal part but it does appear the Irwin adores Haley.

I have always been impressed that Haley could walk into his club, sing a song and scat with Irvin, then get invited to sing with his band at Carnegie Hall. I doubt he had any clue about her when she sang at his club and it became a successful unintended and uninvited audition for Haley. Validating to the max.
