Haley Heynderickx makes a solid statement with her debut release I Need to Start a Garden, out this week and on repeat today in the Pickathon HQ.

We’re looking forward to hosting Haley Heynderickx as she makes her Pickathon debut this Summer with sets on August 3-5.

Recent press that caught our eye was a recent NPR ‘First Listen’ + review by Jerad Walker of OPB Music, plus inclusion in the NPR Music ‘Austin 100’ list alongside 99 other artists to keep an eye on at this year in preparation for SXSW. Also, this thoughtful review by Ciara Dolan, ‘On I Need to Start A Garden, the Portland Singer/Songwriter Surrenders to the Unknown’

We’ve known Haley for the past couple years through her participation with the Pickathon kids programming, and also her time spent recording out at Pendarvis Farm.  Way to go Haley and the fine folks at Mama Bird Recording Co., we’re all kinds of hometown proud right now.

Get this album today and join Haley & band for the weekend at our 20th Annual Pickathon on August 3-5.
