Hayward Williams

While mom may have provided the musical spark for Hayward, that spark can only ignite if there is something to burn inside.  Successful singer-songwriters have something inside that cannot be taught that allows them to take life experiences and turn them into music and verse.  Hayward’s tunes range from sparse but rich sounding acoustic tunes, such as Ballad of Benson Creek, to high energy Americana tunes such as Redwoods, which starts with a harmonica and guitar bang.

Hayward’s deep tenor voice definitely belies his true age and appearance. He is joined on the CD by another artist with a new CD out, Peter Mulvey, who adds guitar, dobro and classical guitar.  Dan McMahon also adds guitar, piano, accordion, banjo lap steel and drums.  Hayward built up his live performance resume touring with popular Milwaukee band Exit during which time he began crafting his own tunes. Another Sailors Dream features ten originals and one cover, a very sparse version of Springsteen’s Thunder Road. There is enough good music and variety on this CD to surely please anyone “tuning in” to this Web site!
