Named 2025 Best Male Vocalist by the Flora-Bama, Johnny Hayes will play the PKMF with his band, the Loveseat Drivers at 3 p.m. on May 2. A mainstay along the Alabama Gulf Coast music trail, the Mobilian started playing gigs while in college in T-Town and has a well earned reputation for delivering consistently solid live performances.
Hayes spread his wings to Nashville at 23 and earned nationwide exposure after his rendition of Otis Redding’s “Try a Little Tenderness” caught the attention of Gwen Stefani and Adam Levine (two chair turns) during the 2013 season of The Voice, where he advanced to the top 24.
A single set of his could include Americana, Soul, R&R, Country, Blues and Southern Rock tunes- All played with an energy and the honesty that connects with audiences large or intimate.
His self-titled 2021 album and a follow-up EP Voodoo Country were both well received, and his song “Rosé and Cigarettes” is among his most requested. He has released two singles with his latest project, Silver Haze this year.
He has opened for JJ Grey & Mofro, Lukas Nelson, The Band Perry, Band of Heathens, and Them Dirty Roses.
