Hazlett

Hazlett at Madrid Theatre

There's honesty in Hazlett's voice that turns a quiet song into something you carry with you. The Australian singer-songwriter, now based in Sweden, writes indie folk that doesn't shout for attention but earns it anyway—warm melodies, nostalgic textures, and a candid voice that gives the sound its human center.

Albums like Bloom Mountain, Goodbye to the Valley Low, and last night you said you missed me trace an evolving catalog where each release deepens the emotional landscape. Songs such as "blue jean," "doing my best," "fast like you," "tell me something," and "Do You Haunt Me" offer different ways into that world. Follow a melody first, then notice how the hazy textures give each recording its own atmosphere.

Hazlett's May 17 concert at Madrid Theatre puts his indie-folk songwriting at the center of a Kansas City night out. His candid delivery and warm melodies are reasons to come curious, whether you've followed his recent albums or are just discovering them. The hazy textures give you another thread to follow alongside the voice, making the music inviting without flattening its quieter details.

If you've found yourself returning to Hazlett's music, this concert is a chance to spend an evening with the singer-songwriter behind those warm, textured recordings. Hazlett's warm melodies and textured arrangements are worth hearing in concert; get tickets to spend more time with the songs behind his recent recordings.
