Mystic Theatre proudly presents Sean Hayes plus Green String Farm Band.

Much like the man himself, Sean Hayes’ musical sensibilities defy easy categorization. Just because there’s a banjo featured in a track, don’t expect it to sound Appalachian — and certainly don’t expect that recurring tuba to have anything to do with Sousa and his severely metered marches. With his new album “Big Black Hole and the Little Baby Star”, the North Carolina-bred, San Francisco-rooted artist continues to embrace the multifarious, channeling Billie Holiday in her more melancholy moments (Fucked Me Right Up) or hitting the pavement with broken-hearted, wild eyed friends who take strength in numbers (Calling All Cars). With subject matter that ranges from polka dot panties to innocent death row inmates, it’s best to keep an ear cocked to sort out Hayes’ lyrics. A masterful songwriter and fingerpicker, the singer plays guitar, mandolin, and banjo on the album.

The Green String Farm Band makes pesticide free music. No overdubs, no edits, RAW. Our belief is that the creation of music, like conventional farming, has become overproduced, poisoned by technological processes and ignores where we have come from. Sustainable farming is not new, it has just been rediscovered – and our music is the same. We’re not doing anything new, we’re just reminding people of our American musical history and folding in our unique Sonoma County perspective. The Green String Farm Band was born on a single day of live recording in the old singe room school house on the farm itself. We play original and traditional material with the grand plan of trying to make people happy. The music is to be enjoyed on the back porch, in the living room, with friend and callused hands with drink and home cooked food. It is rough, real and to be sung out loud together.
