Hayden

HAYDEN IN CONCERT:Alt-folk troubadour Hayden has been wearing his heart on his sleeve since his earliest recordings in the '90s and, and he's steadily won over a devoted legion of fans with his evocative and emotional songwriting. At his live shows he treats ticket buyers to a broad spectrum of styles – one minute he's kicking out ragged grunge rock with his talented backing band and the next he's offering up heartbreaking folk with nothing but an acoustic guitar and harmonica. At both extremes of his sound, the frontman's gravelly baritone brings out the raw emotional power of favorites like "Trees Lounge," "No Happy Birthday," and the shambolic epic "Dynamite Walls." Hayden's stirring sentiments become even more palpable during his performances as he delights longtime fans and newcomers alike with the unrestrained passion he injects into his masterful sets.
