The New Song Music Series will welcome critically acclaimed folk-pop singer-songwriter Hayley Reardon to Bedford on Saturday, November 21, 2026.
A Massachusetts native with more than 8 million streams on Apple Music alone, Reardon is also a storyteller whose evocative songs feel like postcards from a life on the road. She has shared the stage with Lori McKenna, Dar Williams, and Ed Sheeran, who welcomed her as his special guest at his Old Phone Pub pop-up in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in March 2025.
Performer Magazine describes Reardon’s music as “brilliantly moving folk/pop with a lyrical depth and soul,” while No Depression observes that “Reardon is truly a treasure.”
In addition to touring in the United States, Reardon has performed nearly 300 shows across Europe, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. She also received a six-month artist residency in Dachau, Germany.
Get a feel for Reardon’s sound with her performance of Lyle Lovett’s “If I Had a Boat.”
The concert will take place at John Glenn Middle School, 99 McMahon Road, Bedford, the series’ temporary venue. Doors open at 6:45 p.m., and the music starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at newsongbedford.org.
The series is presented by the Bedford Cultural District with generous support from Red Heat American Tavern, Suzanne & Company Real Estate, Bedford Florist & Gifts, FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers Bedford, and the Mass Cultural Council.
