Hayden plays over 150 shows a year and has supported national touring acts from Marc Broussard and John Primer to Maimouna Youssef and The Drifters. He has also opened for artists such as jazz fusion heroes Marbin and the legendary Booker T. Jones. Hayden’s albums Get Somethin’ (2018) and Grab Go (2020) paved the way for the 2022 single Shag Bag, featuring iconic keyboardist Ronnie Foster. The track earned international praise for its classic, early 70s Blue Note style groove. His latest full-length release Baritone Gold (2024) spotlights a guitar rarity in an eclectic 60s inspired set which feels as much like a Tarantino soundtrack as it does a timeless organ trio session. “A captivating and robust vocalist”(Jazz Times) Shelly Rudolph is a singer, songwriter and poet whose sound blends jazz, soul, and lyrical storytelling.
