Hayden Desser on tour for his new album Us Alone, at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver. Lou Canon opened the show.
The Toronto-based Hayden releases his first album, Everything I Long For, in 1995. Us Alone is his first since 2009’s The Place Where We Lived and has racked up positive reviews. The Globe and Mail called it “….sublime and sonically rich. One of Hayden’s finest records.” The Chicago Sun Times said the record is “A triumph of soft-spoken, plains-born hope and doom.”

Lou Canon, his support act on this tour, is something of a Hayden protege. She is a former elementary school teacher and Hayden’s sister-in-law. Hayden produced her 2011 self-titled debut album and released it on his label, Hardwood Records. She also sings on Us Alone.
