Hayley Sales concert at Coconuts on the Beach in Cocoa Beach, FL

On Friday night, October 22, Surf Guru attended the Hayley Sales concert at Coconuts on the Beach in Cocoa Beach, FL, as part of the festivities at the 2010 Slater Brothers Invitational Surf Contest.  Hayley is an up-and-coming female recording artist from Vancouver Island, BC with two successful albums under the Universal Records label--Sunseed (2007) and When the Bird Became a Book (2010)

Not to mention, a captivating live performer as well.  The lovely Hayley has a voice like an angel, soulful and sweet with a touch of sultry and jazz.  I think every true musician likes to be respected as unique, but Hayley's style has been compared to the likes of Colbie Caillat, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, and Suzanne Vega to name a few.  I would add in there a slight vocal similarity to Norah Jones or legendary jazz crooner Billie Holliday. 

 Her presence is kind, down-to-earth, and happy--both on stage and while hanging out during the entire Slater Bros. event this weekend. 

 The concert had a great turnout, but as it was a ticketed show, Coconuts was not packed to capacity. Thus, we had plenty of room to enjoy the show in comfort.  The surfer crowd of Cocoa Beach was there in full force, along with many other music and surf enthusiasts from around Florida and even the country.

 Hayley performed many songs solo with the acoustic guitar, and then was joined by the Josh Miller Band of Cocoa Beach, which rounded out the sound for the end of the show.  It was a good, mellow vibe with a few more upbeat tunes in the mix as well.  A great time was had by all, and we really enjoyed getting to spend some time with Hayley after her performance as well.  Thank you Hayley for a great show!
