"Elk-Lake Serenade was originally released in 2004, so I’m a few months late putting out this 20th Anniversary edition. In early 2002, I had just completed a few tours supporting my Skyscraper National Park record, culminating with Toronto’s Convocation Hall performance which was released as a live record that year. I settled back at home and began writing and recording what would slowly become my 4th full length studio album. I chipped away at my new songs, mostly on my own, but a few talented folks helped out along the way - including my pal Howie Beck playing drums on a few songs as well as a beautiful string arrangement, the wonderful Burke Carroll adding so much with his haunting pedal steel, and East Coast legend Julie Doiron singing on the song “Roll Down That Wave”. " For 30 years, Hayden has been making music on his own terms and on his own schedule. Since his groundbreaking 1995 debut album, "Everything I Long For", the Polaris Prize and JUNO nominee has produced, engineered and mixed most of his records at home. Hayden’s 9th full length album, "Are We Good", released in 2023 featured contributions from Feist and The National’s Matt Berninger and Aaron Dessner. The album was JUNO-nominated for Adult Alternative Album of the Year. Alongside his wife Christie, Hayden is a co-founder of Dream Serenade, a highly regarded annual benefit concert at Toronto's Massey Hall for children with developmental and physical disabilities and their families.
