Introducing Yes Darling: Ryan Montbleau & Hayley Jane Announce New Project

Longtime friends and collaborators Hayley Jane and Ryan Montbleau have formed a duo. Yes Darling “are a couple of people who sing songs about love and lust and battle and cars and mothers and barbecue and money and other things.” The pair announced their first series of tour dates and a forthcoming studio album.

The duo are currently recording an LP, which is expected to be released on Valentine’s Day. Yes Darling kicks off their debut run the same day at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, New York. From there, the pair heads to Pawling, New York on February 15, Northampton on February 16 and Newmarket on February 17. Hayley Jane & Ryan Montbleau will then open for Montbleau’s band in Burlington on February 22, in Hamilton on February 23 and in Norfolk on February 24.

Yes Darling has launched a PledgeMusic campaign to raise funds in support of their new album. The duo is offering a wide array of autographed items, limited edition merchandise and experiences like backstage meet and greets, Valentine’s gifts and “Online Couples Therapy” hosted by Ryan and Hayley. Look for the pair to bring fans behind the scenes of the music-making process throughout the campaign as those who contribute will gain an AccessPass, which offers access to demos, private video, audio and photo updates.
