Live performances by Joseph Hayes Caddell

Hello there! I'm Joseph Hayes Caddell. I primarily play fingerstyle contemporary folk. However, I have a deep passion for blues, jazz, and rock, weaving these genres into my music. Each song is sculpted with care, which reflects my soul’s cry. I sometimes play bass, guzheng, djembe, tongue drum, and others, bringing a rich, textured sound to every song as I grow.

Live Performances

The Sound & Vibe
I play in open tunings like DADGAD and drop D, drawing inspiration from artists such as William Tyler and Leo Kottke. My sets are gentle, textured, and spacious—meant to mesmerize, spark reflection, and invite you into a peaceful, heartfelt space.

What to Expect
Relaxed, intimate atmosphere


Rich, fingerstyle guitar melodies


Stories told through music—sometimes joyful, sometimes contemplative


A place where every note is a companion for lonely souls and curious hearts

Let's create a moment together

Invite elegance into your next event by reserving me. At present, I can do a maximum of 90-minute sessions. If you need me for more time, we can discuss the details.

I perform at festivals, charities, cafés, and art galleries/showings. On any other occasion, feel free to message me the details. Have a groovy and wonderful day!
