Shaina Hayes

Take the Case of a Rose

Shaina Hayes is a Canadian singer‑songwriter whose music blends folk‑pop clarity with alt‑country warmth and a deep attention to emotional detail. Known for her graceful vocals, thoughtful lyricism, and quietly magnetic presence, she has emerged as a distinctive voice in contemporary indie folk.

Hayes released her debut album to coax a waltz in 2022, followed by Kindergarten Heart in 2024. Both records introduced her intimate songwriting and earned her a steadily growing audience, leading to tours and opening slots for artists such as The War on Drugs, The Barr Brothers, and Elisapie. Her third album, Take the Case of a Rose, is due out November 13th, 2026.

Alongside her musical career, Hayes continues to operate a vegetable farm in the tiny rural hometown where she grew up. The land remains a grounding force in her life, shaping her sense of rhythm, patience, and presence. That dual existence — touring musician and hands‑on grower — informs the clarity and steadiness that run through her songs.
