Acoustic by Hayman White

With a desire to perform her original songs she put together the trio Speakeasy and eventually The Dory White Band with soon to be husband, Bob Hayman. They have been invited to perform repeatedly at the area's largest festivals including, the Ocean City Springfest and the Ocean City Sunfest where Dory works her magic, holding thousands of listeners in the palm of her hand. The Dory White Band has played three years running at the Fourth of July celebration in Ocean City, MD. She and the band were also called on to perform at the Ocean City Convention Center for the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. Dory has now found that place which usually takes an artist many years to reach. As vocalist for the acoustic duo Hayman White, Dory fills the room with her sensuous voice, performing their originals as well as putting her signature on songs by Stevie Nicks, Sade, Shania Twain and other favorites. As an extra treat, she will often weave in beautiful melodies with her flute. Together with her husband Bob Hayman on guitar and vocals, it is obvious that the emotions that cascade from their music is as real as it gets. On top of it all is the very distinct observation that Dory's presence is just as pleasing on the eyes as it is on the ears, with the word professional summing it up best. When she takes the stage, she immediately becomes the focal point for the audience, oh but just wait until she begins to sing.

Bob Hayman, a Salisbury, MD native, possesses the kind of talent that could not be contained on the Delmarva peninsula. So it served as a vehicle to transport him to the musical hub of the west coast, Hollywood. As a founding member of Pegasus, Bob performed regularly at The Whisky-a-GoGo, The Troubadour and many of the city's top clubs. His songwriting and musical chops were instrumental in the group's winning a national competition in Reno, NV that landed Pegasus a recording contract. Bob continued to hone his musical skills in the highly competitive Los Angeles music scene where as a writer and performer, he contributed to several movie soundtracks, including Warner Brothers' "Spring Break", "Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan", and Columbia Pictures' "King of the Gypsies". He recorded with such notable producers as Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers), Tom Werman (AC/DC, Motley Crue) and Don Smith (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers). Upon returning to the east coast, Bob formed The Bonedaddys, a band that rocks many of the top clubs on the Shore today. He also started Bob Hayman Recording, a recording studio where his gifted ears guide many local area musicians to produce and record their best works. On top of all that, Bob has a strong desire to pass his musical wisdom on to others by giving lessons to countless guitarists lucky enough to find an open slot in his busy schedule. Bob has two sons, Austin and Adam, that are already displaying their musical inheritance. Although he can rock with the best lead guitarists, he also loves playing blues, jazz and country. However, it's Bob's work with Dory in Hayman White that displays the culmination of all these experiences best.

The coming together of these two talents is such a perfect match, it seems it is their destiny to perform as Hayman White.
