Hunter Hayes Returns To The Grand Ole Opry
(Shore Fire Media) Last Friday, 5X GRAMMY nominated and PLATINUM-selling, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, Hunter Hayes performed at The Grand Ole Opry for the first time since 2018 in celebration of his new album Evergreen.
On Wednesday, Hayes will kick off the Evergreen Tour, a 22-city run across the U.S., including stops at The Gramercy Theatre in New York City, The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, House of Blues in Chicago, and Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, among others. Supporting Hayes on tour will be Franklin Jonas (fresh off opening for the Jonas Brothers' 20th anniversary tour) and BLU EYES.
Evergreen completes a trilogy that began with Wild Blue and Red Sky, tracing a journey from optimism through conflict to resolution. Throughout the 10 tracks, Hayes weaves together threads of pop, country, folk, R&B, and indie rock, with lyrics that center on themes of renewal, self-discovery, compassion, and presence, not only as the foundation for a healthy relationship with himself, but also with the world, and others.
Hayes describes the album as "a letter from your future self," serving as an emotional reset and a statement of manifestation. Guided by his motto, "Be good to yourself and the world around you," Evergreen showcases Hayes at his most fully expressive artistic chapter yet.
Recorded with Co-Producer Alex Flagstad, Evergreen captures the full scope of Hayes' creativity with songs that are as emotionally rich as they are musically daring. Evergreen's additional myriad high points include "Until She Comes Along," a bluesy number that evolves into a fun rock tune that best represents Hayes's growth as a songwriter, the cinematic "Around the Sun" which serves as an affirmation to the listener that whatever you're going through, you're going to come out on the other side, the playfully vulnerable "Every Piece," the infectious "Wait," and the atmospheric, scene-setting title track.
