blues @ temperance | Connolly Hayes

They're back! One of Temperance's all time favourite bands. Amazing vocals, amazing guitar, amazing keyboard. Just amazing! Connolly Hayes are redefining modern blues, rock, and soul. Driven by the rare chemistry of two powerhouse lead vocalists, who bring raw grit and stunning soul in equal measure, the band is made up of five long-time friends: Jess Hayes, Frankie Connolly, Beau Barnard, Joe Mac, and Andy Wilder. Together, they’ve built a rapidly growing international following through relentless touring across the UK and Europe, earning a reputation for unforgettable live performances. Their debut album, Remember Me, released in summer 2024, was an instant success, earning Pick of the Month honours from the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association and multiple Blues Awards nominations. Just months later, they followed it with Live at Echo Zoo Studios, an EP that captured attention far beyond the blues scene. Now, Connolly Hayes are ready to take things to the next level. Their highly anticipated new album ‘Moving On’ is set for release at the end of November 2026, marking an exciting new chapter for a band whose momentum shows no signs of slowing. With soaring dual vocals, virtuoso guitar and keys, and a rhythm section that grooves with relentless energy, Connolly Hayes are proving themselves to be one of the most exciting live acts on the circuit. If you haven’t caught them yet, now’s the time, because this is a band going places fast.
