Hayley Reardon is a critically acclaimed folk-pop singer and songwriter, and a storyteller in the truest sense of the word. Her songs serve as postcards from an artist brave enough to take the road less traveled. Reardon dove head first into music at the young age of 15, and has dedicated much of her life to writing, recording and performing music around the world. She has released 4 studio albums, 7 EPs, 1 live album and countless singles – totalling over 85 original songs to date.
Reardon has shared the stage with renowned artists including Lori McKenna, Rodney Crowell, Dar Williams, Anaïs Mitchell, Xavier Rudd, John Paul White, Rachel Platten and most recently, Ed Sheeran, who invited Reardon to perform at his Old Phone Pub pop-up in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Her ever-deepening music carries a lyrical and melodic weight beyond her years, being described as “brilliantly moving folk/pop with a lyrical depth and soul” (Performer Magazine) and “a melancholy little masterpiece” (American Songwriter Magazine). No Depression writes “Reardon is truly a treasure.”
In addition to her ongoing US touring, Reardon has played nearly 300 shows across Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Italy, UK, Netherlands) and was awarded a six-month artist-in-residency program in Dachau, Germany. In 2021, she discovered a creative home in Barcelona alongside collaborators Aniol Bestit, Pau Figueres and Arnau Figueres and has done most of her recent recorded work in Catalunya with this team. Her 2023 EP ‘Changes’ features an original bilingual duet with Catalan singer/songwriter Judit Neddermann, whose music inspires Reardon deeply.
Reardon is a frequent collaborator in the Northeast music scene as well, creating often with beloved New England songwriters Heather Maloney, Antje Duvekot and Seth Glier. Her latest full length album entitled ‘After Everything’ was released in September of 2024.
Singer-songwriter and Barcelona native Judit Neddermanns has released six solo albums, a collaborative EP in Catalan and Basque, several singles, and a Christmas album with her sister Meritxell Neddermann.
She has recorded with artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Alejandro Sanz, Noa, Pedro Guerra, and Maro, and has shared the stage with Jorge Drexler, Andrés Suárez, Rozalén, Miguel Poveda, Ismael Serrano, and many more.
She has composed the music for two theater plays: Màrius Serra’s theatrical adaptation of “Tirant lo Blanc,” directed by Joan Arqué, and also the play “Canto jo i la muntanya balla” a play based on the novel of the same name by Irene Solà, also directed by Joan Arqué and Guillem Albà.
For ten years, she was the singer of The Gramophone Allstars. She also developed a long and close collaboration with pianist Clara Peya and carried out the joint project “Viatge d’hivern” with the Quartet Brossa (a reworking of Franz Schubert’s “Winterreise” translated into Catalan). For three years, she sang in the Iberian percussion orchestra “Coetus.”
She has been awarded a Max Award, a Butaca Award, an Altaveu Award, two Enderrock Awards, the Miquel Martí i Pol Award and a Descobertes Award.
Phenomenal guitarist born in Barcelona in 1989, his mastery of all musical languages and a proverbial good taste turn his guitar into a fascinating instrument that expresses itself with the ease of a living being. His music, with the flamenco guitar as the undisputed protagonist, goes beyond this genre thanks to an ingenious concept of form and harmony, rhythm and compás, the result of a brilliant mixture of the art of the sonanta with the music of our century. Moving forward even further, Pau investigates beyond the guitar itself by incorporating to the natural touch of nail and flesh a very creative use of the synthesizer, through which he carefully runs his guitar, providing the music with rich textures and sounds typical of current times, but also rooted in the jazz tradition of recent decades.
His debut album “Pau Figueres” (Whatabout Music), published in 2015, was highly praised by critics and listeners alike, winning the Enderrock Prize for Best Folk Album of 2016. In 2018 he publishes “Nada Nuevo Bajo El Sol” (Satélite K), premiered live at Fira Mediterrània de Manresa, an album which consolidates him as a composer and where he shines as an excellent instrumentalist. In 2024 he releases “LATIDO” (Satélite K), a record in which he masterfully puts together tradition and innovation. He has performed widely throughout Spain and internationally both as a soloist and with the Pau Figueres Group: Festival Eurofonik in France, NIB Art Dresden and Internationale Gitarrenfestival am Maindreieck in Germany, the Budapest Music Center (Hungary), Global Live Med in Athens (Greece), Centro de Artes de Águeda in Portugal, Jazz+More concert series in Küsnacht and the Reformierte Kirche in Kilchberg (Switzerland), Bargoglio in Buenos Aires (Argentina) or The Lillypad and City Winery in Boston and the Folk Alliance International in Kansas City (United States).
A brilliant performer of his own music, he’s also highly praised as a collaborator and producer. During 2023 and 2024 he toured internationally with Portuguese artist MARO as a member of her Trio, and from 2019 to 2022 he toured extensively with multi Grammy award-winning Spanish artist Alejandro Sanz, both tours earning him international acclaim. Throughout his career his guitar has been sought after by an amazing array of world-class artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Sílvia Pérez Cruz, Hayley Reardon, C.Tangana, Mayte Martín, Carles Benavent, Judit Neddermann, Vic Mirallas, Alfonso de Vilallonga, Juan de la Rubia or Tal Ben Ari, to name a few.
Arnau Figueres is a sought after and highly accomplished record producer, mixer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has worked with Toti Soler, Mayte Martín, Judit Neddermann, Stay Homas, David Bisbal, Big Menu, Hayley Reardon, amongst others.
