Hayes began playing traditional American and Irish music with a band called the Boys of Bluehill. He traveled the south, from the Black Mountain Music festival (LEAF Festival) in the Blue Ridge Mountains down to Charleston, South Carolina and eventually found his way to San Francisco, where he has lived since 1992.
Hayes' song "Rattlesnake Charm" was re-mixed by DJ Mark Farina, and also appears on the Stéphane Pompougnac compilation Hôtel Costes, Vol. 8.
His song "3 A.M." is featured on the soundtrack for the television show Kyle XY, and his song "A Thousand Tiny Pieces", was covered by The Be Good Tanyas and the group Blame Sally, and has appeared on the television show Brothers & Sisters. The HBO show Bored to Death featured his song "Fucked Me Right Up" on its second episode as well as on the soundtrack for the first season. This song was also featured in the German film, Resturlaub. His song "Turnaroundturnmeon" is part of Big Change: songs for FINCA, an album curated by Natalie Portman to benefit the anti-poverty organization FINCA. Hayes was also featured singing the duet "Ballantines" with Aimee Mann, released on her album Smilers. On November 17, 2010, eight days after his song "Powerful Stuff" was featured on the NBC sitcom, Parenthood it was again a featured song. This time by Subaru of America as part of its 2010- 2011 campaign for the Subaru Forester in the "Reunion" commercial.
Hayes' song "Rosebush Inside" was inspired by a man named Moreese Bickham, who survived close to forty years inside the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. His voice and spirit are expressed through the Sound Portraits story titled, "Tossing Away the Keys".
