Cicada Music & Arts Festival presents:

The Recent Past Tour: An Evening with Hayden

HAYDEN
www.wasteyourdaysaway.com

For more than thirty years, Hayden has built a body of work from moments in life that can easilypass unnoticed. His talent is to build grandeur around small events, not just within songs but asan accumulation across his whole career. Taken together, his ten studio albums amount to anongoing conversation about family, memory, love, loss, absurdity, and the strange beauty hiddeninside ordinary days. Roadside diners, family conversations, a headline that won’t leave yourmind. The realization that today’s routine may someday become the part of your life you missmost.

Despite its title,The Recent Pastisn’t nostalgic so much as observant. It reflects on the strangefeeling of longing for a time that wasn’t all that long ago, but it’s also about trying to stay rootedin the present while everything around us speeds up.

Every song onthis albumbegan on the same weathered 1940s Heintzman piano that’s lived athis family’s Grey County cottage for more than twenty-five years. The instrument has becomeas recognizable as Hayden’s voice, warm, slightly uneven, tuned towards honesty more thanperfection.

The Recent Past, due November 6, 2026, is a rich addition to Hayden’s continuing search forunsung moments. There’s heartache on this album, some frank declarations, a lot of comfortand danceable surprises.
