We're bringing our Hank Williams show back to the Lizard Lounge on New Year's Eve & New Year's Day!!11/18/2022  We're excited to announce that we're bringing our Hank Williams show back to the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA on New Year's Eve & New Year's Day!!For over a decade now we've celebrated the life, legacy, and music of Hank Williams on the days he never got to perform. On New Year's Eve 1952 Hank Williams' show was cancelled because of a snowstorm and he was unable to arrive, then on New Year's Day 1953 ol' Hank passed away in the backseat of a powder blue Cadillac en route to his show that evening in Canton, Ohio.
In honor of the shows he never got to play we have enjoyed performing his music and recalling the stories from his legendary life and career. Trends come and go, Hank Williams is forever. His music laid the foundation for so much music that followed, especially in the country music genre. We hope you'll join us this year for what's truly a wonderful way to bid adieu to 2022 and to welcome 2023. Ticket are on sale now. New Year's Eve tickets available HERE. New Year's Day tickets available HERE.   We're very excited to announce our collaboration with SingleCut Beersmiths and the release of the One Night Only IPA.
To celebrate the release of this special new brew we'll be performing a limited number of concerts with One Night Only IPA on hand and ready to enjoy while you catch the show. The first of these concerts will be happening on Dec 2nd at SingleCut North in Clifton Park, NY. Show kicks off at 7pm and it's FREE to attend, so be sure to mark the date and bring some friends along. Then Dec 3rd we'll be headed to SingleCut's Taproom in Astoria, NY. This is not only a super cool room, but it's a great place to catch the show. Things get started at 7pm and it's once again FREE to attend. We hope to see you there!!  We hope you'll join us on Nov 10th at The Parlor Room in Northampton, MA.

We're looking forward to seeing you in Northampton.  It's awards season!!
2022 has been a great year for music. Things have been happening in a very real way and it's been so nice to get back to playing shows, touring, recording, and bringing to life a couple projects we'd been planning and working on the last couple years. We have some exciting things coming up in the last quarter of 2022, including our first European Tour since 2019, which kicks off Oct 4th in Spain (full tour schedule HERE) and 2023 is gonna have some brand new music and a few special surprises. We're honored and thrilled to see Ward Hayden & The Outliers nominated for "Country Artist of the Year" in the 2022 Boston Music Awards. And in a list with so many other great country acts from our great city. And our very own Cody Nilsen is nominated for "Session Musician of the Year". When he isn't on the road with us, Cody has become a huge asset to the studios not just in Massachusetts, but in New York and more recently over in Europe and Scandinavia for his work on pedal steel and guitar. Really nice to see him recognized for all his work and what he adds to so much music getting created. And I'm honored to see my name listed in the "Vocalist of the Year" category. To say my brand of singing is an outlier in the Boston landscape would be an understatement, but Boston has always had my back and supported my style of Country music. These award shows are always a lot of fun and they're a great way to champion the music being made here. They're also such a nice way to see musicians and fans all come together for one big event and support each other. Last year's award show was some of the best local camaraderie I have seen in some time and it really did my heart some good to be there and witness it. We hope you'll take a minute to cast you votes for you favorite Boston artists HERE. And please encourage your music loving friends to show their support as well. Many thanks and looking forward to what the rest of 2022 has in store!!  Thrilled and honored to see WHATO nominated for "Artist of the Year" in the 2022 New England Music Awards.

Ol' Hank left a lasting and incredibly important legacy. Both in life and in music there is so much to learn and to take from his 29 years. And while he learned to play music at a relatively young age, his rise and fall in the music world lasted just four short years before his untimely passing. But, the stories of his life and his incredibly music have lived on and it is always a joy to get to share these songs from the stage. We're looking forward to seeing you in New York for two shows and in Massachusetts this week.
