Hayden puts down the guitar for a while and tickles the ivories for a little jazz-inspired moment.
I Don't Wanna Know Anymore I Don't Wanna Know Anymore
Pesky doubt and dubious accomplishment - all villains, always perplexing.
I was raised in the Northwest, swimming in lakes and climbing trees in rich, beautiful green forests. I loved having the mountains always on the horizons all around me. I've had a love of music for as far back as I can remember. My sister has always been very musical and she was a big influence on me early- always encouraging me to sing and play along with her and her guitar. "Country Roads" and "House of the Rising Sun" were a couple of our favorites. I picked up various instruments over the years - I even played my face when nothing else was around for me to play. It's a hidden talent that will probably stay so - though I still do it now and then when no one's around.
Music has sent me on various journeys over the years. It's been a long trip that's brought me through school jazz bands, a Portland Oregon punk band (the Stoopid Chemists, for the curious), and on to New York where I've been involved with various music projects over the passed few years. After years of performing in bands, I've decided to take on a solo mission. The songs here are the result of my endeavor...Band/artist history
In addition to my solo work, I am (along with Andy Flory) a founding member of the band - lagerhead. You can find downloads from lagerhead's debut cd, "This Mess I've Made" on this site as well.Have you performed in front of an audience?I play mostly at the Sidewalk Cafe in New York city.

hello, Hayden.
I was scrolling through some pages of artists in the area and I really like your voice. It put me in a good mood the moment I heard it. I was going to ask if u would be interested in collabing at all? I am located in Woodside. sekuro1014@hotmail.com (the anodyne)
