Leif Eddy Haynes

About Me

Leif Eddy Haynes is a singer,guitarist,and songwriter from the Pacific Northwest. He has been playing and singing since the age of nine. He has been playing gigs steadily since 1973 while still in high school. He played Rock and Roll till 1982 when he went back to his roots and started playing country music. His earliest influence was the music of Johnny Horton. Altho' he didn't start playing guitar till he was nine, he drove his parents crazy singing "The Battle of New Orleans" at the age of four. He still sings the song at every gig today. Leif is of Norke heritage brought up listening to Stan Boreson and other accordian players. Johann pa Snippen is his favorite Schottishe & Norske song. His first album called "Lonesome and Blue" is available from Pacific Northern Records on MP3. He had the 3-piece rockabilly band "Rebel Rouser" in the mid 80's. Their EP will be available shortly after twenty years on MP3. Currently living in Sitka, Alaska, Leif is playing in a duo called "The Alaska Boys". We have a new single called "One Nation Under God" This song is a response to all the folks who tried to sue our govenment into taking the line: "One Nation Under God" out of our pledge of Allegiance, or "Under God" off of our currency. We want to give our support to the majority of our citizens who want to leave it in. Support our troops, and spread the word!
