With his appreciation for his predecessors and innate desire to carry on Rodney is both a prolific writer and connoisseur of present day songwriters. Rodney's shows include material by Steve Earle, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, Chip Taylor, Kris Kristofferson, Wayne Hancock and Billy Joe Shaver. His delivery is clean and confident. Rodney Hayden has gathered together the necessities for a long journey - lyrics, confidence, ability, and desire. He has attracted the attention of the long-time musicphiles through his own shows across Texas and is gaining a wider popularity while sharing the stage with legendary music makers such as Junior Brown, Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Robison, Hank Williams III, Johnny Bush, Chris LeDoux and Robert Earl Keen. As San Antonio's own music archivist and country music critic, Wiley Alexander says, "Rodney Hayden has more than singing talent - he has the charisma of country great Hank Williams. He's here to stay."
