Hunter Hayes Preps Album Release, Plans Tour

Warner Music Nashville artist Hunter Hayes will release his self-titled debut album Oct. 11, and will support it by launching his first-ever club tour on Oct. 8.

Hayes’ “Most Wanted” Fall Tour 2011 gets underway at Ford Park Exhibit Hall in Beaumont, TX and currently has 15 U.S. dates scheduled, including a stop Nov. 2 at Nashville’s 12th & Porter.

Two special VIP Experience packages will be available for purchase at each show. The “VIP Coffee House Experience” includes a pre-order of Hunter Hayes, a Hunter t-shirt, a tour laminate, and pre-show coffee with Hunter at the venue. The second option is the “Hunter Hayes Early Entry Experience” and gets buyers early entry the night of the show, a t-shirt, and the album pre-order. Full tour dates are below.

The young multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, drums, mandolin, keys, and more) played every instrument on Hunter Hayes, wrote or co-wrote every song, and co-produced it with Dann Huff. CMT.com’s “Listen Up” is offering exclusive live performances of some of the tracks from Hayes’ recent performance at 12th & Porter, as well as a video bio and other exclusive footage.
