Mile of Music fans, meet—Hayley Reardon, a critically acclaimed folk-pop singer and songwriter, and a storyteller in the truest sense of the word. And she’s making her first appearance at the festival this year.
Raised in Marblehead, Massachuesetts, Hayley began crafting songs by age 11 and released her first full-length at 16. She later moved to Nashville, toured Europe and Germany, then settled in Barcelona for awhile—absorbing flamenco rhythms and Catalan language along the way.
Hayley’s songs are intimate journals - or postcards, perhaps: reflective, layered, and written across places she’s called home and have a lyrical and melodic weight beyond her years.
Her sound blends folk-pop intimacy with flamenco textures, in an inviting, organic way. On her 2023 EP Changes, she duets in Catalan with Judit Neddermann and last year’s live album Live at Starseed Studios was recorded with flamenco guitarist Pau Figueres and bassist Arnau Figueres.
She has shared the stage with renowned artists including Lori McKenna, Rodney Crowell, and Dar Williams, Anaïs Mitchell, and Xavier Rudd among others. What can you expect at Mile? A voice that's both delicate and commanding, songs that carry emotional weight, and a performer whose global journey brings a feeling of quiet depth to every lyric.
Her Mile debut is full of promise—don’t let it pass you by.
🎙️Previews air every day at 9am, with additional coverage throughout each day.
