Hayley Grace is a Byron Bay based Singer/Songwriter that you won't forget in a hurry. Together with The Bay Collective- a raucous 9 piece big band, featuring a full all female horn section - they’re on a mission to bring all the good vibes to all the places. The collective’s diverse talents make for an eclectic mix of styles that embody the spirit funk, soul and blues with lashings of reggae.
Led by Hayley, The Bay Collective live shows are loud, fun, cheeky and overflowing with energy. You feel this band when they walk on stage. Featuring a roster of the Byron Bay region’s most prominent vocalists and multi-instrumental talents, The Collective’s dynamic performances are always lively and no two shows are exactly alike.
Hayley created The Bay Collective in 2017 and after being invited to play at the world famous Byron Bay Bluesfest in 2018, the band has clocked up an impressive run of gigs and residencies up and down the east coast of Australia. In summer of 2019 they released their debut EP, High Vibes, which is a high energy, high vibe collection of tracks to get you feeling good.
Hayley is a powerhouse performer with an incredibly diverse range of global experience under her belt, having toured extensively around the world. Locally, she has graced the stages of Splendour in the Grass, Bluesfest and Caloundra Music Festival and toured with icons like UB40, Phil Emmanuel and Darren Middleton (Powderfinger).
