Bio:

Straight outta small-town Elida, Ohio and now repping Columbus, Ian Thomas Hayes is a

country rock powerhouse mixing heartland grit with modern edge. Think dive bar stories,

arena-sized hooks, and the kind of soul you don’t fake. With a guitar in hand and truth in every

lyric, Ian's not just playing songs—he’s telling your story before you even knew how to say it.

Sound:

His voice hits like a shot of bourbon—warm, bold, and unforgettable. Ian blends the raw

storytelling of classic country with rock swagger and just enough heartbreak to keep it honest.

If you like your music with a backroad vibe and big-stage energy, you're in the right place.
