Hayden is a Toronto musician who’s been releasing records for ten years. His international debut “Everything I Long For†(Geffen) was released in 1996 after initial attention in Canada following two cassettes and several 7-inch singles. The album’s home recorded songs appealed to critics and fans alike, making many year-end top ten lists. Following tours of the U.S, Europe and Japan, Hayden released “The Closer I Get†(Geffen) in 1998… a more band oriented affair and a sonic and lyrical progression. Following over a year of touring and promotion, Hayden closed the book on chapter one of his music career. It wasn’t until 2001 that he returned with the wonderful “Skyscraper National Park†(Badman). Recorded at his home studio, it is filled with a warmth and beauty that was felt by music lovers everywhere.
“Elk - Lake Serenade†continues where “Skyscraper National Park†left off. Sparse fingerpicked ballads (Killbear, 1939) mix with full band rock songs (Hollywood Ending –the album’s initial video and My Wife) to create a very full and rewarding listening experience. Pianos, pedal steel, and strings accent Hayden’s guitar and piano playing, while his stories of life and loss shine through.
