Dwayne Haggins

He’s been described as the love child of Otis Redding and Doc Watson, the John Legend of rockabilly, and most recently, a ‘what-took-you-so-long’ fusion of Elvis and Marvin Gaye. But he is Dwayne Haggins, and his voice is his own.

For Dwayne, every performance is a mission of discovery-of self and of song. Whether on the stage of a metropolitan concert hall or the makeshift bandstand of a neighborhood dive, you will find him exploring uncharted musical territories and finding new ways to stir his musical influences in a voice that is unmistakably his own.

Haggins, a Massachusetts native, cut his teeth playing locally and a chance encounter at an open mic led to an introduction that would seal his fate. Bruce Marshall, a local music legend formally of the Toy Caldwell Band, was so impressed with Haggins that he took the young musician under his wing, introducing him to a local promoter who in turn booked Haggins at higher profile venues.

Notably, Haggins has performed at the Portsmouth Music Hall and Prescott Park in Portsmouth, N.H.; and the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom in Hampton, N.H.; sharing the stage with acts such as Chris Lane, Suzanne Santo, and Fitz and the Tantrums.

Haggins joined Verdict Music in 2021. His full-length debut album “Call Me Boston” was released Summer of 2022. “Call Me Boston” is available on all major streaming platforms.
