Creating powerful & truthful lyrics from his own real-life experiences, matching them with piano-led melodies, Ian Hayes takes his inspiration from the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Mick Flannery.
With strong family roots in traditional folk, he draws upon his creativity to break the rules of convention and manifest his own alt-folk sound. Renowned in the Kildare music scene, his first two releases "Spanish Flowers" & "Divide" added to his reputation, and he is currently at work on his next project "Way Back Home" – again putting his own unique and unrivaled twist on a classic genre.
