Each Haymaker brings their own love of classic rock, Americana, power-pop, jam-band, and a little punk rock.
When they play covers, it's usually a B-side or deep cut. Their originals deliver good-time rock 'n roll.

We are a high-energy rock and roll band aiming for everyone to have a good time. We can make strangers dance, or we can be background music for people to drink & chat & sway from side-to-side.
While we try to avoid the most obvious songs, we choose songs that are recognizable to give things a little twist.
The Haymakers are a confederacy of friends born out of a Cape Cod campfire. Singing songs and passing guitars led to Tuesday nights in a basement. Another friend finally showed up to play lead guitar, and the fuse was lit.

The whole point is to have fun and make people dance. And The Haymakers do it.
A PA system & lighting is preferable, but we can bring our own for extra. We are open to negotiate based on the situation.
