The adventures of Jake the Merch Kid continue as he experiences the world with one of Texas' hottest singer sensations currently on tour, Hayes Carll.
Carll is considered an important figure in the resurgence of Texas songwriters, writing in the Dylan-influenced tradition of Clark and Townes Van Zandt. His songs combined ragged tunes with autobiographical lyrics, including themes about lazy solitude, strumming his guitar, and drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He lists Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, Jack Kerouac and Dead Poets Society as major influences in his style. He has performed many times on the Imus show and Austin City Limits, and recently brought down the house on The Jay Leno Show. His newest full length album, KMAG YOYO (& other American Stories) is enjoying excellent reviews from critics all over the world.
To see if Hayes & his awesome band are coming to a city near you, just go to hayescarll.com and click on the TOUR button. I promise you, once you experience one of Hayes' shows, you'll become a fan for life!
and oh yeah, be sure and tell Jake the Merch Kid that his mama sends her love!
Always remember to BELIEVE~
