Morgan Wallen kicked off his The Dangerous Tour earlier this month with two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. The tour comes a year after Wallen has tried to rebuild his image, following a video that surfaced of him uttering a racial slur. While some, like Eric Church and Luke Bryan, have seemed ready to put the incident…

Walker Hayes has never had as much fun on the road as he is having now. The Alabama native is headlining his own Fancy Like Tour, but he isn’t alone.

Walker Hayes‘ latest record, Country Stuff the Album, includes a song, “Craig,” which Hayes wrote years ago, in honor of his good friend, Craig Cooper.

Hayes no longer imbibes, at all, but that doesn’t mean it’s…
Walker Hayes is a much different man than he was just a few years ago.

Walker Hayes isn’t about to take credit for any of his success, including “Fancy Like.” The 42-year-old is enjoying an unprecedented ride, at least for him, with his viral hit, which includes starring in two Applebee’s commercials, a No. 1 song, a remix with a major pop star, and his first-ever Grammy nomination. Hayes is deeply thankful for how…
