Ward Hayden and the Outliers (WHATO), formerly known as Girls, Guns and Glory (GGG), is an American band from Boston, Massachusetts. They currently release music on their own label, Faster Horses Recordings. [3] Prior to this, at various times, the band had released music independently and was formerly signed to Lonesome Day Records and released albums with Sony RED, MRI and Dry Lightning Records in the US, as well as through Proper in the UK and Rough Trade in Europe. Their music is a mix of old school country, early rock 'n' roll, blues, and country rock. Inspiration is taken from Hank Williams, [4] Johnny Cash, [4] and Johnny Horton classics. Ward Hayden and the Outliers has garnered seven Boston Music Awards (BMA). They were the 2011 winner of the BMA for "Americana Artist of the Year", and were nominated in the "Live Artist of the Year" category. They were also the 2019 winner of the BMA for "Country Artist of the Year". The band is popular throughout Europe and Scandinavia and has toured there for several years. Their 2016 album Love and Protest was a top 5 album in Norway and peaked at #1 on the Norway country album charts.

The band has released eight studio albums, two live albums, one studio EP, one live EP, and numerous singles; their most recent studio album was South Shore, and their most recent live album was A Celebration of Hank Williams Live (both albums were released in 2023). One more studio album is currently in the works for 2024. [5]

History

2005—2019

The band was formed in 2005 by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Ward Hayden and bassist Bruce Beagley, [6] joined shortly afterward by lead guitarist Colin Toomey and drummer John Graham. Colt Thompson replaced Toomey in 2007. [7] In 2007, the band won a Boston Music Award, and, in 2008, they were "the first roots, rock and country act to ever win" the WBCN Rumble. [8] 2008 led to the band's third studio recording and their first Top 10 album Inverted Valentine, which peaked at #8 on the Americana Music Association (AMA) Chart. It was the highest charting album by an Independent band that year and led to the band being courted by numerous Major and Independent record labels in the US and Europe.

After re-releasing "Inverted Valentine" with label support in 2009, the band embarked on two years of non-stop touring, racking up close to 200 shows a year in 2009 and 2010. During this time the band toured with Yarn, Lake Street Dive, Della Mae, Bill Kirchen, Eilen Jewell, Bobby Bare Jr, Trampled By Turtles, Drag The River, and Slim Cessna's Auto Club.

By 2010, Hayden was the sole original member left in the band, with Boston-based guitarist Chris Hersch and bassist Paul Dilley joining. A second guitarist, Joe Keffler, also toured with the band in 2010. [9] Their third album, 2011's Sweet Nothings featured a collaboration (the song "1000 Times") with local Massachusetts alternative country musician Sarah Borges. [4] Since December 2010, the band has held annual tribute concerts for Hank Williams in late December and early January to mark the anniversary of Williams' death. [1] In 2011, the band opened for Wanda Jackson. By 2012, Josh Kiggans became the band's third drummer replacing Michael Calabrese, also of the Boston-based band Lake Street Dive.

In 2014, Rolling Stone included the band in its list of the top 10 new country artists that fall. [10] The band released the studio album Good Luck that same year. The Americana Music Association ranked Good Luck on their list of the top 100 Americana albums of 2014; Good Luck ranked #54 out of 100. [11] In 2015, Rolling Stone also reviewed the band's then-recently released live tribute album to Hank Williams, A Tribute to Hank Williams - Live, which was their first live album. [1]

In 2016, Hersch left the band and was replaced later that year by Cody Nilsen. Also in 2016, the band decided to release new music independently, beginning with the album Love and Protest. The album featured local Massachusetts sideman Duke Levine as guest lead guitarist because it was recorded between Hersch's departure and Nilsen's arrival. [12] [13] [14] The band also featured a touring lead guitarist during this time. The album was recorded 'live' in the studio using analog equipment. [2] After Nilsen joined the band, they opened for NRBQ. [15] Love and Protest was released on November 4, 2016. [2]

In 2018, the band dropped the name Girls, Guns and Glory because of the polarizing issue of gun control in the United States. [16] [17] Hayden later told The Patriot Ledger (in 2021) that the band also (at the time) had more recently had difficulty booking shows; for example, he mentioned that some people assumed they were a heavy metal band. [17] Also in 2018, the band opened for The Oak Ridge Boys, [18] [19] Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives, [20] [21] Los Lobos, [22] and Dwight Yoakam. [23]

In August 2019, the band "officially" released their EP Can't Judge A Book. [24] The status of this release is unclear, as they have referred to it sometimes as an EP (during its initial limited release in September 2018) [25] and other times as a full album. [26] The EP was self-produced by the band [17] and mostly featured covers (of songs by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, [27] Chuck Berry, [28] Fountains of Wayne, [29] Brinsley Schwarz, and The Derailers), some of which had been re-imagined and re-arranged by the band. The EP also included one original song, "Naturally Crazy". [26] [30] That same year, the band opened for Midland at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis, MA. [31] [32] In late 2019, the band toured Europe, playing dates in Sweden, Norway, Spain, France, and Switzerland. [33]

2020—present

In January 2020, longtime bassist Paul Dilley left the band, with Matt Murphy of the Ellen Jewell Band serving as a substitute (as the band referred to it, "on loan") the next month. [34] Dilley was ultimately replaced by local country musician Greg Hall. [35] [36] As with many musicians, the band's touring schedule was hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. [35] [17] During this time, Hayden focused on his family and songwriting, Hall gave music lessons, and Kiggans and Nilsen worked construction jobs (as both had done before joining the band). [17] Most of the songs included on their seventh studio album, Free Country, were written during the various phases of the pandemic, including lockdowns. [17]

In 2021, the band opened for Los Lobos for a second time. [37] They also released their seventh studio album, Free Country, during 2021; it was produced by Eric "Roscoe" Ambel. [17] In 2022, the band performed special shows in honor the 99th anniversary of Hank Williams' birth; at least one of these shows featured guest musician Katy Boc Nickerson on fiddle. [38] [39] Their European tour in late 2022 included shows in Spain, France, Belgium, and Switzerland. [40]

In early 2023, while Nilsen worked as a guitar tech for the Dropkick Murphys, Ryan Hommel temporarily sat in with the band on lead guitar. [41] Around this time, during a podcast interview, Hayden discussed the band's upcoming studio album, South Shore, with another studio album and another Hank Williams tribute live album scheduled to follow later in 2023 and in 2024. [5] The band formed their own record label, "Faster Horses Recordings," to better distribute their post-2017 catalog. [3] In March 2023, the band released a re-arranged country cover of "Badfish", originally by the band Sublime, as a non-album single. [42] In May 2023, the band's eighth studio album South Shore was released. [3] Two singles, "Write a Song" and "(Breaking Up With) My Hometown", were released from South Shore. [43] [44] In September, A Celebration of Hank Williams Live, the band's second live tribute album to Hank Williams, was released, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Williams' birth. Two singles and an EP were released in advance of the live album's release and in order to promote it. [45] [46] [47]

In early 2024, the band announced that they had recorded a studio album of Bruce Springsteen covers as a tribute to Springsteen; Hayden is a Springsteen fan and has said that Springsteen's songwriting has greatly influenced his own songwriting. [48] Since January 2024, the band has released three singles to promote this album: "Brilliant Disguise", [49] "Dancing in the Dark", [50] and "Glory Days". [51] During this time, the band returned to Europe to tour Spain and Sweden. [52]

In March 2024, shortly after returning from this tour, the band announced that longtime lead guitarist Nilsen had left the band. [53] Several lead guitarists have filled in since Nilsen's departure, including Tyler Marshall and Sam Crawford. [53] [54] The band also promoted their Boston Calling appearance with a performance at WBUR CitySpace, and Hayden had also appeared twice on the show "Almost Famous Radio" on the local radio station WATD-FM and was interviewed by NBC Boston in advance of Boston Calling. In June 2024, shortly after performing at Boston Calling, Hayden and Hall announced that longtime drummer Kiggans had recently decided to leave the band. Both Nilsen and Kiggans will be featured on Live in Sweden and the upcoming Springsteen tribute album. They also announced the upcoming release of a live album recorded in Sweden during their early 2024 tour there. [53] In April 2024, the band co-headlined shows with the Swinging Steaks, a Boston-based Americana/country/roots rock band; WHATO also announced that their US dates in 2024 would be billed as the "Keep Moving Forward Tour". [55] [56] In 2024, the band announced that they had recorded a live album in Sweden. [57]

In May 2024, the band performed at the Boston Calling festival for the first time. [58] The band promoted their then-upcoming appearance at Boston Calling with two appearances on Boston's local CBS affiliate WBZ, including one during which the band was interviewed and also performed "(Breaking Up With) My Hometown" and "Blink of an Eye" from South Shore. [54] [59] The band also promoted their Boston Calling appearance with a performance at WBUR CitySpace; Hayden also appeared twice on the show "Almost Famous Radio" on the local radio station WATD-FM and was interviewed by The Boston Globe and NBC Boston in advance of Boston Calling. [60] [61] [62] [63] [64] [65] WBUR, Boston's local NPR affiliate, included WHATO in its article about Boston Calling. [66]

In June 2024, shortly after performing at Boston Calling, Hayden and Hall announced that longtime drummer Kiggans had recently decided to leave the band. [67] Both Nilsen and Kiggans are featured on Live in Sweden and the upcoming Springsteen tribute album. The release of "Glory Days" on June 4, 2024, was timed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of the original version by Springsteen on his 1984 album Born in the USA. [68] On July 12, a "various artists" bluegrass tribute album to Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band was released, entitled Silver Bullet Bluegrass; Hayden (without the band) was the lead vocalist on "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight." [69] Other concert festivals the band performed at during 2024 were the "Newburyport Brewing Country Fest" in Newburyport, MA and "The Moxie Festival" in Lisbon Falls, Maine. [70] [71]

Live in Sweden was ultimately released in August; [72] two singles (live versions of their songs "Root Cellar" and "Mary Anne") were released in advance to promote the album. [73] [74] The band will tour Scandinavia again from late August to early October 2024. [75] [76] [77] A release date has not been announced for the Springsteen tribute album. The band has mentioned plans to tour Europe again in 2025. [67]
