Country Star

Billboard asked Hayes about a surprise concert he held. He declared that “I love surprise shows. They have such a great energy and spirit. You get to go to a whole other different level of communication with everybody. It’s a unique vibe, one that we don’t get to do a whole lot. I jumped at the chance. You go in with a set list, but you listen to the fans and go with the room. It was an incredible night.”
