At the age of 29, Hayley moved to The Netherlands where she began writing the album and performing in Den Bosch with the support of her local record store. She then moved to Brighton where she formed Americana duo Grand Palace, and in 2016 she returned to her hometown, Hastings, where she made her first home recordings ‘All Along the Railings’ ep and in 2021 she performed at The De La Warr Pavilion supporting ‘This is the Kit’. With 15 years between now and her debut ‘The Daisy Room’, this album is more than a break of silence. It’s an explosion of expression both musically and lyrically and a sure sign that Hayley is back, with her full creative spirit intact. The new album by Hayley Savage is a collection of songs written between 2011 – 2021. It’s a mixture of Folk, Americana and Indie with a minimalist and organic production. Special guest opening act: Kristin McClement Kristin McClement is a singer and a songwriter.
