London- based 'Connolly Hayes' have stormed onto the scene, captivating audiences with a fusion of rock, soul, and blues. This 5-piece powerhouse not only delivers raw energy and killer riffs but also the harmony of two exceptional voices. The band have swiftly become a must-see live experience.
Connolly Hayes is a new band, already creating high expectations and excitement within, and beyond the blues/rock/soul community, largely on the reputations of the principal members.
Young Jess Hayes is a blues-fuelled, soulful singer/songwriter with a powerhouse voice. She emerged onto the South London scene as a teenager having been raised on the classic sounds of Stevie Nicks, Bad Company, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat etc. by her musician parents, tagging along to their gigs every weekend and catching 'the bug'.
Jess quickly gained a reputation among the blues and soul cognoscenti, as well as being the 'go to' singer of choice for (ex-Mud member and noted songwriter, not least for Kylie's mega-hit 'Can't Get You Out of My Head'), Rob Davis. She has also recently enjoyed some prime-time exposure on ITV's 'The Voice', turning all 4 chairs. More importantly, though, Jess has her own 'voice' as a songwriter with this new project, with her friend Frankie Connolly who himself has hailed a stellar reputation as both a great singer and astonishing guitar player and has wowed crowds wherever he has played, including Ronnie Scott's and several festivals, internationally.
Connolly Hayes is joined by Richard Clarke, a noted vocalist/guitarist alongside Beau Barnard on bass and Andy Wilder on drums. The ensemble has recently recorded their debut EP, set for April 2024 release.
