Bio
Jim Hayes uses his powerful voice and foot-tapping rhythms to bring his audience along with him as he sings of the longing for connection in a fragmented society.
Jim is inspired primarily by musical outlaws such as Jim Morrison, Bob Marley, R.L. Burnside, The Black Keys. There seems to be a mission in their music: kill conformity in the name of love and sanity. It’s all rooted in the soul and raw heart of blues rock.
Over the last several years Jim has opened for Leon Russell, Leslie West, and played at such venues as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Hard Rock Cafe(NYC), Rockwood Music Hall (NYC), Starland Ballroom (NJ), Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Indie Outbreak, Musikfest and more.
In the early 90's Jim played the East Coast rock scene and had since returned to his roots; a mix of blues, jazz, rock, and soul.
Unrefined yet rich with melody, Jim Hayes Band may be from New Jersey, but it’s sound comes from the dark history of Mississippi – the birthplace of whiskey blues. This trio is deeply devoted to keeping the original and sometimes radical spirit of blues and rock.
With Tom Parsells on the bass, Bill Van Goor on drums, and Mike Nappi on guitar, Jim Hayes is well supported by their gut-felt performance.
