Ward Hayden & the Outliers "Little by Little" ONE DAY ONLY Pre-Sale - March 7th on Bandcamp Friday!!

3/5/2025

0 Comments

 

We could not be more excited to finally be sharing the music we've been working on. This project have been two years in the making. It started modestly with the goal of recording two songs songs written by Bruce Springsteen that were important and meaningful to us and that we wanted to record as a thank you note to their author and as a way to further connect and unite with fans.

Ultimately we end up recording 16 songs written by Bruce Springsteen & even got inspired to write the entire next original Ward Hayden & the Outliers album in the process. This year we'll be releasing TWO new albums of Springsteen songs done Outliers-style & we'll be headed back to the studio to record the next original album this Summer as well. (More news on that coming soon)

The first collection of Outliers-style Springsteen penned songs, titled "Little by Little", will officially be released on April 18th & to help raise the funds necessary to promote this album, make videos, and get this album out to the world we'll be hosting a ONE DAY ONLY early bird Pre-Sale on March 7th on Bandcamp HERE.

For ONE DAY ONLY on Bandcamp Fridays the platform gives 100% of the sales directly to the artists. So, this will be a great chance for us to raise some funds and to also give you early access to the music via CD, special edition Vinyl, TWO new T-Shirt designs, & even the Test Pressings. 

​

We can't wait to share this music with you and this is a great chance for you to help our band and help us get the music promoted to Radio, Media, & to the world be helping us raise the funds to cover these significant expenses. Recording and releasing music is no small feat for an independent band, but we've accepted this challenge with open arms and your support has continued to be the fuel for this engine. 

This is going to be a great year for music and March 7th is our first chance to get this music to our intended audience: YOU. The link for Pre-Sale will be posted on our website, Facebook, & Instagram the morning of March 7th. Mark the date & get ready for an exciting day this Friday. Thank you for being on board!! -WHATO
