Ronnie Hayward has been playing his rockabilly brand of hobo country for years now. Since 1982, he's been moving from town to town, gig to gig, never stopping too long in any one place. He's a seasoned musician who has dragged his doghouse bass across the continent, over to Europe and back numerous times, playing everything from giant festivals to street corners. Prior to forming his own trio in 1989, he had already played and written songs on several albums and had been a member of Jimmy Roy's 5 Star Hillbillies, Herald Nix, The Nervous Fellas, The Bughouse Five and countless other rockabilly and roots-based bands. He has released eleven albums of his own, nine of which are on European labels. Look for a new vinyl release on Crossroads Records and an upcoming vinyl double album.
"Heavy Duty Brothers - Hot" is our third single and out now on Champion Beats featuring hot remixes from The Damn Bell Doors, Dylan Holshausen, The Incredible Melting Man & Justin James (Chicago)!
