Originally heard on OPB on March 10, 2018.
In the wake of the release of her first full-length album, 'I Need To Start A Garden,' songwriter Haley Heynderickx has received plenty of high-profile praise. Pitchfork, The New York Times, Stereogum, Paste, and NPR have all gushed over the record. And it’s well-deserved.
The eight-song release really is a stunning debut, but it’s not a total surprise-- at least not to music fans here in her hometown of Portland. We’ve followed Heynderickx’s career closely throughout the years and seen her steadily progress from a teenager singing Bob Dylan covers on YouTube to becoming one of the most promising musicians in the country.
