Hello all, I’m back from the wilderness and doing my best to adjust to civilization. Sleeping in a bed, using a normal toilet, spending time on the computer… all of these things are so alien to me that it’s strange to think that at one point I took them all for granted.
But enough about my mountain woman ways, music is what I’m here to talk about today. I’m very excited to say that the wonderful Sean Hayes will be coming to the Ashland Brickroom in October! Hayes comes to Ashland every few years and I was lucky enough to catch him the last time he was in town. With his mix of blues and soul guitar licks and his uniquely sexy voice, Hayes is an act that’s hard to forget.
I was introduced to Sean Hayes’s music by a friend of mine who was listening to him through Pandora. I was struck by his beautiful voice and his lyrics, and began listening to him obsessively. A few years ago the same friend and I attended a Sean Hayes concert in Ashland. We were both struck by how natural Hayes is on stage. He is nothing less than himself and is completely open to the audience which makes the show intimate and sweet rather than a crazy rock concert. I love listening to Hayes’s records but they fall short of his live performances. He knows how to work a crowd and keeps his listeners engaged and moving.
Sean Hayes will be playing at the Brickroom on October 21st in Ashland. The Brickroom is a great venue with unique tasty food and excellent beer on tap. For more information about tickets check out Sean Hayes’s website here. See you there!

I want to hear more about your mountain woman ways! How does music fit into it all? You were cut off from Sean Hayes and other artists while out in the woods, but of course I assume you created your own musical experience? How does that all feel and fit into having to become a part of civilization again?
