For more than thirty years, Hayden has turned everyday moments into deeply moving songs, pairing his unmistakable voice with intimate storytelling and warm, understated arrangements. His newly released tenth studio album, The Recent Past, explores family, memory, love and loss through piano-driven songs filled with heartache, humour and unexpected grooves. Mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Tom Schick (Wilco, Mavis Staples), it captures the strange beauty of ordinary days.
