NY–based singer-songwriter Haylie Davis pays tribute to one of her biggest inspirations, Gram Parsons, with a rendition of ‘November Nights’, on the date that would have marked his 80th birthday.

About the track, Haylie shares, “We recorded at Electric Lady Studios, it’s such a beautiful spot. co-creator Huxley and I were running takes- we were about 3 takes in, and felt like we were almost there. Right before we were about to cut one more, Huxley started playing a soft interlude on the piano. He eventually fell into the intro of the song, and I decided to start singing. We never said we were going to do another, but we just went with it anyways- it was cool, like an unspoken agreement. Luckily we were still rolling and that ended up being the take. I think it’s special for that reason, because It came together so naturally, and the song has a vulnerable quality to it. We weren’t trying to nail it, we were just playing it.”

She continues anecdotally, “In the beginning of Gram’s demo, he tells someone that the phrasing of his song has kind of a ‘Bachian thing’ going on. It’s just such a hilarious thing to say.  At some point, while taking a break from string arrangements, I had kind of an epiphany - I turned to my co-creator Huxley and said excitedly,  ‘Oh my god, the strings are a little ‘Bachian.’  We both were cracking up, and I thought maybe Gram was smiling up there too.”

NY-based Haylie Davis (originally from Northern California) released her debut full length, 'Wandering Star' on June 5th 2026. Across the album, Davis ventures into the world of rock n’ roll and pop while still touching on past influences from country and folk. Wandering Star is a culmination of the love, heartbreak, searching, discovery, hardship and victory.  

Haylie Davis’ voice can also be found on many other projects in the scene such as “Dear Departed” by Sam Burton, “Hiding in Plain Sight” by Drugdealer, “California Blues” by Alex Amen, and more.
