B ruce Hayes                   Colorado Originals

For years, the name Bruce Hayes has been synonomous with the Colorado sound; 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 in the mid-nineties, Hayes helped define the acoustic jam band sound. He continues this tradition performing original songs and arrangements on Mandolin, Guitar, steel, and an amplified foot board of his own design. Hayes established his stature as a high-level musician in Pagosa Springs many years ago, with his top-notch performances at the first two Four Corners Folk Festivals. His concerts here, since that time, have always been very well received. "...lightning-fast mandolin licks...phenomenal guitar picking...a cross between Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges."
