Five time Grammy nominee and CMA New Artist of the Year in 2012, Hunter Hayes, will be in concert in Hot Springs, Ark. on Saturday, June 4, 2016 at Magic Springs & Crystal Falls water and theme park. 

Hunter, who hails from a small town in Louisiana, has been making music since the age of 2 after his grandmother gave him an accordion. He began making personal appearances on nationwide television when he was only 4. And when he was 7, he performed for President Bill Clinton for a White House lawn party. By the time he reached the the age of 13, he performed on "America's Got Talented Kids" singing "Hey Good Lookin'" from Hank Williams.

In 2008, Hunter moved to Nashville where he got a publishing/songwriting deal to start writing songs. In 2010, he got a record deal with a major label.

He is a multi-talented star who can not only sing but can play well over 30 instruments, and continues to motivate himself to learn even more. In 2011, Hayes got his feet wet when he opened for Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" world tour 10 times.

In 2011, his debut single "Storm Warning" was released to country music radio nationwide. His second single "Wanted" topped the charts at #1 and eventually reached gold and platinum certification for sales and won for "Single by a New Artist" and "Video by a New Artist" at the American Country Awards in 2012.  "Wanted" became Hunter's first number one hit and he became country music's youngest solo singer to top Hot Country Songs, breaking a record in 1973 held by Johnny Rodriguez.

Once the hit machine started rolling he has been unstoppable churning out hits like, "Somebody's Heartbreak," and "I Want Crazy," to name a few. The 21 Project is Hunter's current album.
