Bruce Hayes: January 10th, 2009

We are unbelievably stoked to announce that the next Weathervane Farm House Concert will be Bruce Hayes on January 10th.

Bruce has just released a new solo CD, Live in Salida: Dinner at Yer Mother’s.  The 14 song, 74 minute disc is a collection of live performances from four nights at The Salida Cafe from 2004 through 2006. Bruce plays mandolin, acoustic and electric guitars, lap steel, 6 string bass guitar, and foot-board on original compositions that span his carreer from his first mandolin tune, to his recent Hurricane Katrina tribute. 
 

Bruce is from  Howard, and is one of  the most talented  musicians in this area. For years, the name Bruce Hayes has been synonomous with the Colorado sound; a fusion of musical styles that combines acoustic and electric instrumentation with elements of Rock, Bluegrass, Celtic, and R&B music. Collaborating with The String Cheese Incident and Acoustic Junction in the mid-nineties, Hayes helped define the acoustic jam band sound. 

“…lightning-fast mandolin licks…phenomenal guitar picking…a cross between Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges.”
