Hayley Griffiths is a classically trained vocalist who spent nearly a decade as the Lead Singer in the international phenomenon Riverdance and Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance. Hayley’s crystalline voice enchanted audiences across the globe; from Japan to Chile to Russia to Paris, performing in over 400 Cities across 35 Countries and 6 Continents! With this wealth of touring experience under her belt and an award winning debut album to boot (Silver Screen won Classical Crossover Album of The Year 2010) Hayley was headhunted to join Progressive Rock Band Karnataka in 2011 and her journey into the World of Rock began!

After leaving Karnataka in 2017 with another Album of The Year Award in her pocket (for Secrets of Angels at The Classic Rock Society Awards) Hayley started her own solo project, The Hayley Griffiths Band with whom she has now headlined Progressive Rock festivals from France to South America and released a live Double DVD and CD. The band’s latest offering, two contrasting albums MELANIE and Far From Here were uniquely released on the same day in January 2023. MELANIE is the bands first official studio album and Far from Here; a follow up to her 2011 album Celtic Rose was produced by Mike Stobbie (ex-PALLAS.) The title track of the album is an original song by Mike and the remaining 10 tracks are stunning new arrangements of much loved Celtic classics. The album is a celebration of Hayley’s Celtic roots and touring career to date.
Both albums showcase Hayley’s extraordinary diversity as a Vocalist as she crosses musical genres with ease and passion for both styles. Hayley will be further sharing this diversity with her eclectic touring show in 2024. A musical treat for the open minded that quite literally will have something for everyone; from heavy rock anthems to beautiful Celtic ballads combined with virtuoso musicianship and the promise of a lot of sparkle and glamour!

Hayley can also be seen on tour this Summer as Lead vocalist in ZIO and is the featured Vocalist on Oliver Wakeman’s stunning new ANAM CARA release.
