Hayden - Elk-Lake Serenade (20th Anniversary) (2025) [Hi-Res]

Elk-Lake Serenade was originally released in 2004, so I’m a few months late putting out this 20th Anniversary edition.

In early 2002, I had just completed a few tours supporting my Skyscraper National Park record, culminating with Toronto’s Convocation Hall performance which was released as a live record that year.

I settled back at home and began writing and recording what would slowly become my 4th full length studio album.

I chipped away at my new songs, mostly on my own, but a few talented folks helped out along the way - including my pal Howie Beck playing drums on a few songs as well as a beautiful string arrangement, the wonderful Burke Carroll adding so much with his haunting pedal steel, and East Coast legend Julie Doiron singing on the song “Roll Down That Wave”.

The deluxe version of this 20th Anniversary reissue has an extra side including four exclusive songs. It includes four sides, is pressed on 180 gram vinyl, and comes with a full color poster with lyrics. This deluxe edition is limited to 750 units and each record will be hand numbered.
