MRG Live Presents: Haley Heynderickx W/ Special Guests

Doors 7:00 Show 8:00PM

Indie folk singer/songwriter Haley Heynderickx draws from a wide array of influences, citing her religious Philipino-American upbringing, the folk music of the 1960s and '70s, jazz radio, and the idiosyncratic acoustic guitar styles of Leo Kottke and John Fahey . All of those ingredients find their way into her music, which pairs deft fingerpicking with lyrics that flirt with levity but hew toward introspection. Her first album, I Need to Start a Garden, saw release in 2018.

An Oregon native based in Portland, Heynderickx self-released an EP, Fish Eyes, in 2016. The record elicited rave reviews regionally, and caught the attention of Mama Bird Recording Co ., which put out her full-length debut, I Need to Start a Garden, in March 2018. She followed it with tours in support of the Low Anthem and Ani DiFranco , an NPR Tiny Desk concert, and headlining tours of North America and Europe before the end of the year. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
