Brother and the Hayes
Brother and the Hayes will be playing in Chattanooga on Thursday, June 1, at The Woodshop Listening Room.
Review for Brother and the Hayes:
Take a sensory trip down to the Texas Hill Country with this nostalgic folk-country single from Brother and The Hayes. Spanish guitar, accordion, and an easy bossa nova groove pairs perfectly with the low light of the afternoon, a breeze from the south, and good friends.
"I wrote it back behind the house sitting in the sun after I got paid one day," said David Bingaman. "It expresses a feeling of relaxation and peacefulness, where the only thing you’re worried about is if you want one lime or two in your drink. A symbolic shoes off moment after a long couple weeks of work and stress. The structure is different from any other song I’ve written, the chorus essentially starts out the song and the verses are more of a refrain back into the hook."
Brother and The Hayes is a Tennessee based, Texas born Americana-roots band led by siblings Jennie Hayes Kurtz and David Bingaman. They combine thoughtful lyrics with infectious grooves, pulling from an assortment of blues, bluegrass, and country and western influences. The duo has released four studio projects since 2017 and their latest release, Another Strange Time, is turning heads. The writing remains poetic yet approachable while the memorable hooks are catching listeners in a new way.
Along with the haunting, earworm single, “Something to Find”, the EP includes songs written during the 2020 Covid-19 shutdown, a song Jennie Hayes wrote for David when she feared the band might break up, and a song David wrote about a diner waitress in LaFayette, La.
