Claude Hay - Love No More
Hailing from the Blue Mountains near Sydney, award winning Australian solo artist Claude Hay invokes the best of stomping traditional blues, hard rock and booty shaking funk, all delivered with slide guitar chops to burn and a vocal range to match. Claude is perhaps the world's ultimate Do It Yourself musician - initially forging his live sound on the back of looping technology which allowed him to create a band vibe without the band. This approach has seen this fiercely independent artist build an audience for his music globally with the release of three award winning home made
albums. His fourth album "Roller Coaster" released September 2016 saw
him form a band, hence his song writing became unhindered from the constraints of looping which allowed him to finesse his rock blues, come funk hillbilly mojo to another level.
Hay's accolades include album charting at #9 on USA Billboard Blues charts following appearing on USA's National Public Radio Network (weekly listenership of 27 million), ranking #5 on Amazon's Blues albums of the year, Best Male Vocalist and Best Song at Australian Blues Music (Chain)
Awards and supporting the likes of Joe Bonammassa and Seasick Steve.
Hay tours Europe regularly, landing the biggest blues festivals in Netherlands (Zwarte Cross, Moulin Blues and more) and Belgium (Blues Peer) as well as Poland, France, Germany and USA - where he started recording his 2012 album "I Love Hate You" at the legendary Sun Studios of Memphis. He appeared on Netherland's national TV free to
air music show "Vrije Geluiden" in 2015.
It's become a tradition for Hay to build a new custom guitar for each recording he does. There's 'Betty', his double neck guitar/bass which he made out of a kitchen benchtop for 2010's Deep Fried Satisfied; there's Stella, his 'Cigar Box' guitar which started its life as a six dollar baking tin featured in 2012's "I Love Hate You" and most recently
there's 'Jeri' made out of 10 litre Jerry Can for 2016's album "Roller Coaster".
