"THE DARKNESS, IBEYI, BLUE NOTE ALL STARS AND MORE... BEACHCOMBER’S RECORD ROUNDUP"
Hailing from Mobile, the band exudes southern charm. With a silky smooth voice and instruments that run the gamut from old-school keys and twangy acoustic guitars to New Orleans approved horns, Hayes puts all that southern rooted musical goodness into a giant blender for this full-length release. Whether it’s the bluesy barnburner “Sweet Salvation” or the R&B vibe of “Without a Woman,” Hayes’ voice is never far from center stage. And for very good reason. - The Beachcomber Destin

Bio
Born in the swampy, southern air of Mobile Alabama, Johnny Hayes began singing and writing songs at 20 years old; and like many young artists performed in smoke filled bars on dim lit stages working vigorously to find his voice and story.
During his time and multiple performances on NBC’s The Voice in 2016 Johnny gained over 2 millions views on YouTube, and received invaluable vocal and performance training from Grammy award winning artists and coaches such as John Legend and Alicia Keys utilizing the platform reaching higher goals.
In 2019, Johnny and his band were offered a return spot at the biggest free music festival in the U.S. MusikFest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania where he shared the stage with acts like The Revivalists, and Co-Headlined with Casey James in the inaugural BluesBerry Festival in Covington, LA.
2018 was also full of great strides as the Johnny Hayes Band opened for Blues Traveller’s John Popper.
Johnny Hayes, signed recently to Skate Mountain Records, is currently working on a solo Americana EP with new songs and stories, weaving in and out of genres, and with performances that capture the essence of a man with a thick southern background and a vastly other-worldly journey with Music, bringing listeners and viewers to the mysterious, soul-fulfilling destinations he’s found along the way.
