The Last Thursday Band is a virtuosic ensemble combining diverse musical backgrounds to yield an energetic, powerful mix of classic and contemporary jazz, r&b, and soul with hints of pop, rock and blues.
Boston, a city known for diverse music, saw its country scene thrive with Ward Hayden & The Outliers, led by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Ward Hayden. Formerly Girls Guns & Glory, the band carved its niche with a unique C&W and rock’n’roll blend, earning acclaim across America and Europe. Their ninth LP, “South Shore,” is Hayden’s closest venture into a concept album, recounting his small-town upbringing, the challenges of leaving, and the pursuit of dreams. In their two-decade journey, the Ward Hayden & The Outliers earned seven Boston Music Awards, the French Country Music Awards’ Independent Artist of the Year, and an Americana Music Awards nomination. With a regular presence on the Americana chart and SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country channel, their music, described as “incredibly endearing,” embodies the finest traditions of contemporary country.
