Claude Hay is a solo blues/roots performer from Katoomba, New South Wales, Australia. He employs a technique using looping pedals to sample and layer musical phrases using multiple instruments, including guitar, bass, sitar and electronic drums,〔Claude Hay looping demonstration video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3ifji_kku8〕 creating the effect of being an entire band although he is typically the lone performer on his recordings and on stage. ==Overview== Hay's debut album, ''Kiss the Sky'', was released in 2007. This effort was well received in Hay's home country of Australia, allowing him the opportunity to be the opening act for other popular Australian roots acts Ash Grunwald, The Fumes, Chase the Sun and Dallas Frasca. He ultimately traveled to and performed in the United States, the UK, Denmark, and Germany over several months in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Australian Blues/Roots Artist Claude Hay Is Deep Fried Satisfied On Ingot Rock Label Debut CD Coming September 21 )〕 In 2010, Hay released ''Deep Fried Satisfied'', his second full-length album. The album was released independently in Australia, and on the North Carolina, U.S.-based label Ingot Rock for all other territories. The response from critics was strong: Exclaim! writer Kerry Doole called the album, "one of the most entertaining blues-rock albums of the year."〔Exclaim Magazine, October 2010 http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/FolkAndCountry/Claude_Hay-Deep_Fried_Satisfied〕 The album was also given 5 out of 5 Stars from ''Cashbox Magazine''〔Christopher Llewellyn Adams, 22 August 2010 cashboxmagazine.com/reviews.htm〕 and received positive reviews in the Seattle, Washington ''Post-Intelligencer'',〔Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 21 September 2010 http://www.seattlepi.com/pop/427144_144565-blogcritics.org.html〕 the Tuscaloosa, Alabama, ''Planet Weekly'',〔Jerry W. Henry, "Music Matters", Tuscaloosa Planet Weekly, Sept 9, 2010, p. 24〕 The Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange,〔http://www.acousticmusic.com/fame/p06672.htm〕 and the Charleston, South Carolina, ''Post and Courier'', with music critic Devin Grant writing, "This is definitely one instance where the album's title accurately reflects the feeling you'll get while listening."〔Charleston Post and Courier, 30 September 2010, p. 17〕 ''Deep Fried Satisfied'' also did well on the charts, reaching #21 for Blues airplay worldwide and #1 in Australia on the Roots Music Report.〔http://www.rootsmusicreport.com/index.php?page=charts&name=blues 8 October 2010〕 Hay also appeared on NPR's ''Weekend Edition'' in November 2010,〔http://www.npr.org/2010/11/18/131414141/claude-hay-building-a-better-song〕 and later that month made his debut on the top ten of the ''Billboard'' Blues chart, reaching #9.〔http://blogcritics.org/music/article/buddy-guy-eden-brent-tops-at/〕 Following a tour to the U.S. in 2011 and then France, Hay returned home to Australia to write and record his third studio album, ''I Love Hate You'', which was independently released in Australia on 21 September 2012, and released worldwide on 16 October 2012 by the U.S. label 128 Records.
