Hunter Hayes To Play Day One of B-93 Birthday Bash

B-93 (93.7 FM), the country music radio station in Grand Rapids, celebrates their birthday each year with a free concert for their listeners. The station will celebrate their 21st birthday this summer on June 8 and 9. The artists on day one of the two-day party include well-known artists like Uncle Kracker, Randy Houser,  Hunter Hayes, and headliner Gary Allan. The first day will also include upcoming artists Tyler Farr and Rachel Farley. The Sunday line-up features familiar artists Lee Brice, Florida Georgia Line, and newcomers Kacey Musgraves, The Henningsens, and Charlie Worsham.

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.
