(Monroe St. Main Stage Winery of Ellicottville)  *Rain location – Balloons A published songwriter, accomplished singer, and guitarist who’s been on the Grammy ballot more than once and in a number of different categories throughout the course of his career. His interest in music started in the blue-collar town of Lackawanna NY, a suburb of Buffalo which was once the center of steel manufacturing throughout most of the 20th century. A seven-year-old Mick Hayes was given a guitar, some hand-me-down records, and learned the meaning of the Blues very quickly when his parents were divorced that same year.
