About David Hays
David Hays’s life journey began up on Signal Mountain, Tennessee. He came of age in Music City and raised a family in the Carolinas. His songs are born of day-to-day living, distilled by encounters with extraordinary people, places, and moments. Mingling folk, rock, blues, and bluegrass, David turns unique arrangements into poetic reflections on love, loss, and redemption. Rooted in finger-style guitar and honest storytelling, Hays’s sound embodies a soulful, spiritually tuned American songcraft
