Press

“Hayden is clearly being himself as a musician.. equally as impressive on the fret-board as he is a writer, no doubt a musical mastermind.”

— Mark Druery, Indie Shark

“This is one artist that brings to the table effective songwriting via highly diversified musical delivery.. Chance Hayden has proven himself with this latest release, “The Family Tree" certainly doesn’t disappoint. ”

— Drew Blackwell, All Whats Rock

“The Family Tree is a one of a kind CD from a one of a kind artist that’s closely tied to classic blues-rock-soul, but has a more modern alt-rock sound. Hayden can play the guitar like nobody’s business.”

— Joseph Crowder, Rock N' Roll View

“Hayden bares his soul and delivers what I would call pure musical mojo. It offers much in the way of a compelling/thought musical landscape.. this is one artist who is extremely determined, dedicated and passionate about the songwriting craft.”

— Michael Morrison, Skope Mag

“Hayden breaks the mold with his highly creative touch and catchy grooves that in their final impression deliver invigorating music that has a deep seeded bluesy pop-rock feel. The production value of “The Family Tree” is rock solid.”

— Rory Richardson, Indie Mad Mp3

“Chance Hayden is one artist that clearly gives you a musical snapshot that is highly original, unique and dare I say genuinely Beatle-ish in scope. Indeed this is clearly evident in songs like "New Start," "Fathers Day," and the title track which methodically ups the ante to a very respectable level of catchy musical craftsmanship and addictive hard rocking melody that transcends pigeonholing. The music is also commercially viable with a fresh sound and a jagged edge that holds the attentions span of the listener perfectly.”

— Michael Rand, Vents Magazine

“Chance Hayden affirmed my faith in good music again. He is unique, hard working artist that knows his way around a fretboard, a catchy song and a concert stage.. His latest CD “The Family Tree” delivers a highly passionate, fully loaded catalog of music via rock solid musicianship, entertaining songs and music that covers all the bases.”

— Michael Keith, Indie Artists Alliance

“Hayden has a sound that favors many male pop artists like John Mayer but with a gun slinger attitude. I've never heard an artist so skillfully combine so many consistent songs into one record.. The proof is in the picking, but it's obvious to me his primary goal as an artist is to make this world a better place one song at a time.”

— Mindy McCall, Music Emissions

“From start to finish The Family Tree by Chance Hayden is an amazing collection of music. The songwriting – world class, all consistent musical experiences, each one possessing a unique personality, flair, and signature groove. Note for note, song for song there isn’t really weak piece on this entire catalog. The writing and playing abilities of Hayden and company are rock solid. The melodies and harmonies are well crafted, and the lyrical content is packed to the hilt with good old fashioned no holds barred R&B-Pop-Rock swagger. At the end of the day Chance Hayden brings the mojo and is clearly a marquee talent based out of Portland. One would be wise to keep a watchful eye on him over the years to come.”

— Cyrus Rhodes, Indie Music Digest

“..seasoned with the sound of 60s soul, which is the musical ingredient blended throughout his debut.. Hayden penned an homage to his family, his Southern roots, a Northwest upbringing and his new adventure into fatherhood.”

— Pat Herrera, Examiner.com

“You can hear that a lot of work went into The Family Tree.. thoughtful songs, great arrangements and guitar solos!”

— Tom Grant, legendary jazz pianist

“Chance Hayden is a brilliant, young guitarist/songwriter who masterfully blends r&b, rock and jazz into a stew all his own.”

— Steve Berlin, Los Lobos

“..the arrangements are sweet and full of surprises, infectious chord changes and depth.”

— Daniel Flessas, KBOO Disc Jockey

“Hayden savors extra space, firing off rounds of jukebox-friendly riffage.”

— Mark Stock, Willamette Week

“Watch for guitarist Chance Hayden, jazz fans know who he is. His level of musicianship is indicative.”

— Jessica Black, Oregon Music News

“A Well-Rounded Portland Guitarist”

— Don Campbell, Oregonian A&E

“Chance Hayden exhibits a musical intelligence and sensibility that proves well beyond his years. ”

— Marcus Reynolds, jazz pianist, composer

“Chance Hayden's guitar playing is a study in playing just the right notes at just the right time.”

— Tony Starlight, Owner of Tony Starlight's Supperclub Portland, OR

“It is my feeling that Chance has the intelligence, musicianship and leadership skills to develop into a jazz musician of the highest caliber, along with the attitude necessary to thrive in the music world.”

— -Darrell Grant, jazz pianist & educator
