Hadden Sayers- Barefoot Ballroom Hadden Sayer has definitely paid his blues dues. His career went from a high of being represented by one of the most powerful agents in the music business and playing over 200 nights a year to a series of bad deals, including one with a record company that literally disappear the day after the ceremonial handshake sealed the deal. His uncle and drummer Rick Frye collapsed and died at a performance. Then one of his best friends died of a drug overdose. Hadden turned his back on music, retreating to a fishing shack in Southern Ohio where he spent two years rebuilding both the shack and his musical soul. Just as he was putting the finishing touches on the shack, Hadden got a call from Ruthie Foster, who was looking for a guitarist for her band. Ruthie had built her career in the Brazos Valley area of Central Texas, Sayers’ old stomping grounds. The two musicians shared a love for the Brazos Valley hybrid of blues, Tejano, country, soul, gospel, and reggae. Sayers immediately began writing songs with Foster in mind. Their duet “Back to the Blues” became the cornerstone of Sayers’ new album. In 2010, Sayers spearheaded the creation of a new record label, whose first release, Hard Dollar hit the streets on June 21, 2011. The effort clearly paid off, as Hadden is nominated for the Blues Music Award for Song of the Year for "Back to the Blues", his first BMA nomination. Back on the road, Hadden is once again playing festivals and touring to the delight of his fans.
