Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra
City Winery presents Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra live on Tuesday, July 21st, at 7:30 PM!
Hayde defy any notion that bluegrass needs to be confined to Appalachia or any other corner of the American heartland. With a critically acclaimed debut album, a wealth of praise from critics throughout the continent, Hayde has embarked on successful tours and landed bookings with the biggest festivals.
With and an instrumental acumen that defines them as musicians with a determined drive and dynamic, the band — Rebekka Nilsson (vocals), Ole Enggrav (guitar), Moa Meinich (fiddle), Charles Butler (banjo), Emil Brattested (dobro, mandolin), Sjur Marqvardsen (accordion), and David Buverud (upright bass) — have helped reinvent the idea of roots music in a new and imaginative way.
They were nominated for Band of the Year honors during the 2022 IBMA Momentum Award honors, and then capped that accomplishment by winning the Vocalist of the Year award.
One of the first songs they ever recorded was a take on the classic folk song “Wayfaring Stranger,” which, to their amazement, racked up millions of plays on YouTube, many of them from listeners in the U.S. It has surpassed twenty million plays so far, bringing their YouTube channel over 65,000 subscribers in the process.
Hayde’s debut album Migrants (2021) was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannprisen) debuting at #4 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Albums chart and staying on the chart for 11 consecutive weeks. There next studio album is recorded and it will be released in 2026.
Migrants sold out fast on Amazon, while also garnering an array of critical kudos.
Puls Music Magazine hailed it as “the impossible dream of what Norwegian musicians can achieve without the home-field advantage.”
Dust of Daylight called it “one of the best albums this year/” Meanwhile, Music News Norway proclaimed “Migrants is a good debut album that shows that Hayde has originality. I compare them to Nickel Cree and the stars Alison Krauss + Union Station.”
So too, the review that appeared in The Daily Paper seems to sum up their strengths. “The album by Hayde is so solid that it is almost unbelievable.”
That’s an apt description given the band’s eclectic — and yes, extraordinary — musical mix. Although their sound is seeped in bluegrass — what some like to term “grassicana” — it also includes a blend of folk rock, and pop, along with other influences that span Irish, Celtic, and Norwegian folk music as well. Still, Norwegian bluegrass might be the easiest way to describe the sound, given the beautiful harmonies, infectious melodies, and the well-maintained mix of driving, uptempo tunes and delicate yet demonstrative ballads.
Hayde are frequently touring the US, and are known for their good relation with their fans, wide marketing reach and big turnouts.
