Bruce Hayes

Bruce Hayes plays Rhythm & Celtgrass music, a fusion of musical styles that combines acoustic and electric instrumentation with elements of Rock, Bluegrass, Celtic, and R&B music. Collaborating with The String Cheese Incident and Acoustic Junction, Hayes helped define the acoustic jam band sound. He continues this tradition performing original songs and arrangements on Mandolin, Guitar, Dobro, foot board and his latest creation, the Stratobassto.

 “…the most phenomenally talented performer you’ve ever seen. A master of the guitar, mandolin, and dobro, he even dances a rhythm while he plays – Bruce will astound you. He writes great songs, has a hell of a voice and is a supreme entertainer.” Acoustic Coffeehouse Nederland CO

Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, recording engineer, one man band -Bruce Hayes does it all. The forty-something entertainer has been a professional musician since high school and his experience shows.

“…lightning-fast mandolin licks…phenomenal guitar picking…a cross between Leo Kottke…
