Hunter Hayes, who will play day one, is a 21-year old from Louisiana. According to hunterhayes.com, Hayes has always had his mind set on music. He recorded his first album at the age of 9, and another at 10. He did not go to prom or parties in high school because of musical commitments. In his spare time, he wrote songs.
He charted his first number one song with 'Wanted', and that was followed up by 'Somebody's Heartbreak', which also hit number one recently. Hayes debuted his new single 'I Want Crazy' at the Academy Of Country Music Awards in April.
Also, according to hunterhayes.com, on his debut album Hayes wrote or co-wrote each song, co-produced the album, and played all of the instruments. Hayes and his parents moved to Nashville in 2008 so he could work on this debut album. He has been the special guest on Carrie Underwood's Blown Away Tour, which kicked off in September of last year, and is currently on its second leg.
Recently, Hayes performed with Stevie Wonder on an episode of "Dancing With the Stars" and appeared on an episode of "The Celebrity Apprentice" last Sunday. He is also scheduled to perform as part of the "Today" show Toyota Concert Series on June 21.
