Hayden performing at Avening Hall

Avening Hall will be a stop on Hayden’s Everything I Long For 20th Anniversary re-issue tour.

Tickets for the Wednesday, April 13 performance are now on sale.

Twenty years ago, Hayden released his first full-length record, Everything I Long For, a collection of 16 songs, some four-track recordings that had previously appeared on two versions of a cassette called In September, and a few new ones recorded with friend Joao Carvalho.

“I’ve always had a bit of a complex relationship with this record, but with all of the personal baggage it comes with, I can’t deny the impact it has had on my life and the meaning it had to a certain group of people in the mid 1990’s,” says Hayden. “For that, I’ve made the decision to briefly go back in time and celebrate the first songs I ever wrote with the release of a limited edition, double vinyl copy of Everything I Long For on April 1. The anniversary release is remastered from the original recordings and includes five rare demos and outtakes.”

The tour will include performances of many EILF songs rarely, or never, played live before.

Pre-orders of the double-vinyl package, alongside other additional limited-edition merchandise recreated from the time, are now available through the Hardwood Records online shop.

Tickets cost $25 in advance and $30 at the door. They are available online and at The Creemore Echo office, located at 3 Caroline St. W in Creemore. Contact sara@creemore.com 705-466-9906.
