See Hayden: Nov 1, 11:30am, The Last Class
Hayden Stewart grew up on the Bruce Peninsula in southern Ontario. The same year that Hayden won an award for his piano composition “Updraft,†he discovered and fell in love with acoustic guitar and has never looked back. His teen years have included jamming with friends, performing, and hours and hours of solitary songwriting and practice. He has drawn on a wide range of genres to develop his own unique blend of folk, pop and alternative. The influences of small town and rural Ontario, and strong connection with the Lake Huron shoreline reveal themselves in his poetic and powerful lyrics. In 2008, he won “Battle of the Bands†at Sauble Beach, Ontario and “Knox Acoustic Cafe Youth Showcase†in Owen Sound, Ontario. His debut CD, “Hayden Stewart†was recorded in June 2007 and includes ten original tracks. Hayden has opened for Universal Music Canada recording artists Dala, and continues to perform at concerts, music festivals, coffee houses, business establishments and private engagements in southern Ontario. He looks forward to furthering his musical studies at Carleton University in September 2008.
