About Me

Ronnie Hayward has been playing his rockabilly brand of hobo country for years now. Since 1982, he’s been moving from town to town, gig to gig, never stopping too long in any one place. He’s a seasoned musician who has dragged his doghouse bass across the continent, over to Europe and back numerous times, playing everything from giant festivals to street corners.He has released eleven albums, nine of which are on European labels. Currently, he’s touring Europe, playing with such bands as Holland’s "The Bizznizzmen" and Belgium’s "The Hometown Gamblers".An anthology of his music is forthcoming from Vancouver’s Northern Electric Records and will feature songs from his previous albums as well as unreleased tracks and brand new material. Also, look for an upcoming vinyl release on Crossroads Records.
