Hunter Hayes Concert at Centennial Terrace
Special Guest: Walker Hayes After being nominated for a handful of GRAMMY Awards, snagging a collection of CMA’s and touring the world behind a pair of critically acclaimed albums, it would be far too easy for the revered singer songwriter and top-notch musician to rest on his laurels. But Hayes wants more. “I had to get in the mindset of ‘I’m starting over,’” the 25-year-old says boldly of a rigorous two-year process during which he wrote more than 100 songs; made a Nashville studio his personal playground and, most important for his development as a category-defying artist and musical innovator, flipped convention on its head. “I’m starting from scratch,” Hayes declares with equal parts excitement and nervous anticipation of the mindset behind cooking up some of the most bold, hook-heavy material of his career with a heavier emphasis on band-based arrangements and live drums. “It’s about who I am and where I’m going.” Both show are on sale this Friday at 10am: Tickets available at the Stranahan Theater box office, phone charge 381-8851 or etix.com- Centennial Terrace day of only
