Hazlett

Sweden-based, Australian-born Hazlett returns with a new full-length album, last night you said you missed me. Anchored by singles like “doing my best,” “tell me something” and “queen of the season,” Hazlett divulges.

“It’s a little different, which I know is cliche to say, but it’s true I think it would be easier to say after all these years that I’ve found my sound and that’s where I’ll stay. But I think there’s a lack of authenticity in staying the same. When I started this whole thing I wanted anyone who starts to listen to feel like they’re part of this whole thing with me. Growing, trying and finding pieces of ourselves along the way.”

From lush acoustic textures to stripped-back ballads, each track on the album unfolds like a page from a well-worn journal with themes of self-preservation, distance, yearning, and quiet hope. For the restless hearts, the gentle souls, and the dreamers, this album is both a confession and a cathartic hug. It reminds us that home is not always a place. Sometimes, it’s a song that stays a while.

At the 2026 Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Hazlett invites audiences into his world of reflective songwriting and understated beauty, where every lyric feels lived, and every melody lingers long after the final note.
