A master of songs that contain untold depths and unexpected instrumental twists, Hays showcases their technical skills without sacrificing the immediacy of pop music. In 2018, Hays was honored as a NPR Tiny Desk Contest Top Shelf finalist for their rich and unguarded tone and emotion. Two years later, they were selected to be a part of the Austin Music Foundation's Artist Development Program, leading to Hays's working with legendary Austin producer Frenchie Smith at his renowned studio The Bubble. Hays's new single “Statue” came from those sessions and promises to propel them to even more widespread acclaim.
Watch Hays's versatility in action, live on the Geraldine's stage, Wednesdays in August.
