Ward Hayden & The Outliers

Ward Hayden’s vocal ability evokes a “pillowy voice of a ‘50s pin-up star” – Boston Globe

Tickets: $30 (fees not included)

Boston, one of America’s great music towns, is not known for its country music scene…at least, not until singer/songwriter/guitarist Ward Hayden and his band The Outliers (formerly known as Girls Guns & Glory) came to town.

Their distinctive take on C&W with a rock’n’roll kick has not only risen to the top of the Boston scene but is the source of their thriving, critically acclaimed, and highly awarded career across America and in Europe.

Now, with their ninth LP, South Shore, Ward Hayden & The Outliers bring their “amber-soaked melodies, tight musicianship, and casual elegance” (Boston Globe) all back home, literally and spiritually. Ward notes that the release is “the closest thing I’ve ever done to a concept album. I wanted to just recount my experience of growing up in a small town and what it meant and what it took to get out and leave that behind to try and pursue something, chase after something that was and is a dream.”
