Friday, 6 p.m. Creating an album that dif- fers greatly from his debut, "Everything I Long For," Hayden experi- ments more on his second effort apd evolves as a musician. Look out for the first single - a sunny, upbeat track, "The Hazards of Sitting Under Palm Trees." Although the differences seem almost shocking at first, fans who enjoyed "Everything I Long For," can find Hayden's vulnerability, sincerity and charm in "The Closer I Get." But fans will have to listen a little harder, because those traits are a little more subtle. Joined not only by Hayden's guitar work, most songs display a deeper musical sound with numerous other instruments. The use of cello, drums, mellotron and banjo helps a few songs pick up the pace. Hayden even has a few border- line dance numbers on the new album. In a recent interview with HaydeA, he discussed the transitions made from his first tohis second albums, as well as what to expect this Friday at The Shelter. "I got bored with just playing one instrument every night for four years," Hayden said. "When I got the chance to go into the studio with a bunch of dif- ferent instruments around me, I took advantage of it." Hayden's tour in support of "Everything I Long For" featured his voice, guitar, harmonica and piano play- ing. Because Hayden's new album includes more, his live show will as well. This time around, he is touring with a live band which includes former mem- bers of Poledo and Change of Heart. Even now, many music fans in America have not heard of Hayden. In Canada, his music is more like a dis- covery. Hayden admits that itsis tough to gather fans in the States without much support from radio and MTV "Detroit's different, but in the rest of America, there is a weird perception of me," said Hayden. "But as long as I'm playing live shows, people have a direct contact with what I am doing, which is a great way for people to actu- ally see what I'm about." And since the last album, Hay den has changed what his music is all about.
