February 6, 1946 – August 12, 2010
Richie Hayward is perhaps best remembered as the founding drummer for legendary southern rock band, Little Feat. Formed by Lowell George in 1969, the band quickly built a sizable following thanks to their seamless merging of rock, jazz, blues, country and R&B. Albums like Little Feat, Sailin’ Shoes and Dixie Chicken are now classic rock staples while there 1978 live album, Waiting On Columbus, is widely considered one of the greatest live albums ever released. Hayward also kept very busy outside of Little Feat. As a session player, he worked with the likes of Bob Dylan, Peter Frampton, Bob Seger, the Doobie Brothers, Robert Palmer, Warren Zevon, and many more. Richie Hayward was 64 when he died of liver cancer on August 12, 2010
