"It's the way their originals stand up to be counted that really impresses me." – Blues Enthused

Connolly Hayes are redefining modern blues, rock, and soul with a sound that's impossible to ignore. Driven by the rare chemistry of two powerhouse lead vocalists, whose voices bring both raw grit and stunning soul in equal measure. Made up of five long-time friends, Jess Hayes, Frankie Connolly, Beau Barnard, Joe Mac, and Andy Wilder. The band has built a rapidly growing international following through relentless touring across the UK and Europe and a reputation for delivering unforgettable live performances.

Their debut album, Remember Me, released in summer 2024, was an instant success, earning Pick of the Month honours from the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association and earning multiple Blues Awards Nominations. Just months later, they followed up with Live at Echo Zoo Studios, an EP already capturing attention far beyond the blues scene. Now, the band are hard at work on their highly anticipated second album, set for release in Autumn 2026.
