Wayley is here to leave you in better shape than he found you through an anthemic and unforgettable blend of full-voice, stomp-and-shout sing-alongs. The music is influenced by the people and places that shaped him – winter surfing on the Great Lakes, the Australian Coast and an unlikely mentorship at a vintage guitar shop, a creative stint in Montreal, writing sessions on Music Row, private gigs in the Hollywood Hills… All of these formative experiences would inform the sounds that put Wayley firmly in the company of giants like The Lumineers, Mumford and Sons, and other leading lights of the indie-folk movement. His debut self-titled EP, featuring his new song, ‘Make it Dark’ is out now on Birthday Cake.
