Hayley Reardon is a critically acclaimed folk-pop singer and songwriter, and a storyteller in the truest sense of the word. Her songs serve as postcards from an artist brave enough to take the road less traveled. Reardon dove head first into music at the young age of 15, and has dedicated much of her life to writing, recording and performing music around the world. With more than 85 original songs released to date, Reardon’s music has been featured on multiple Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists, totaling more than 7 million streams on Apple Music alone. 

She has shared the stage with renowned artists including Lori McKenna, Rodney Crowell, Dar Williams, and Anaïs Mitchell, among others. Her ever-deepening music carries a lyrical and melodic weight beyond her years, being described as “brilliantly moving folk/pop with a lyrical depth and soul” (Performer Magazine) and “a melancholy little masterpiece” (American Songwriter Magazine). No Depression writes “Reardon is truly a treasure.”

Raised in a coastal Massachusetts town north of Boston, Reardon spent three years based in Nashville followed by six years carrying her songs and stories all over the globe. She has played nearly 300 shows across Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Italy, UK, Netherlands) and was awarded a six-month artist-in-residency program in Dachau, Germany.  

2023 was one of creative abundance and artistic growth for Reardon. Her EP, Changes was recorded in Barcelona with renowned Spanish guitarist Pau Figueres as producer and collaborator with the title track featuring an original bilingual duet with Catalan sensation Judit Neddermann. Along with her own releases, Reardon co-wrote and sings on Seth Glier’s haunting single My Body Remembers. She was also nominated as 2023 Vocalist of the Year by the Boston Music Awards.

At the start of 2024, Reardon released her first live concert album, “Live at Starseed Studios.” The project features 13 tracks from Reardon’s songbook with special acoustic arrangements by Pau Figueres on flamenco guitar and Arnau Figueres on bass. Reardon also recently returned to Spain to record new music with the Figueres brothers at The Sound of Wood studio near Barcelona. Her upcoming eight-song project, entitled After Everything, to be released in September 2024, takes a more organic approach with vocals and instrumentation tracked live with a five-piece band. Reardon’s extensive travels, recent move back to the States, and regrounding in a place close to her roots has given the songwriter much to contemplate. 

In “The Way I Am”, an upcoming single from the project, Reardon reflects, “I needed all this space just to feel the ache that has always been under everything.” These new songs explore uncharted emotional depths for an artist who is already known for her capacity to access tenderness through heart opening melodies and distinctly expressive vocals.
