North Dakota Museum of Art

Tuesday, August 9th at 6pm

Opening Act: Josh Driscoll

"Before We Turn to Dust," San Francisco based songwriter Sean Hayes' newest release was written and recorded in the same year he became a father. You can hear the love and struggle throughout. Hayes was born in New York City, raised in North Carolina, and came of musical age in San Francisco. On a whim, Hayes threw some clothes and a guitar into the back of his friend's car and made his way to San Francisco. "I spent a few years in a great little folk scene in San Francisco with Jolie Holland being the queen bee. She is an amazing talent." Later, he would open tours for Holland. "San Francisco has always felt like a do-it-yourself town," he says, continuing, "There's not a lot of music industry, but there is a lot of spirit."
