Hailed as a “country-rock-blues guitar hero in the making” by the Los Angeles Times, Hayes roared onto the music scene with his platinum-selling, No. 1 self-titled debut album and chart-topping sophomore album “Storyline”.
With three No. 1 singles already under his belt – the multi-platinum smash “Wanted,” “Somebody’s Heartbreak” and “I Want Crazy” – Hayes delved into unprecedented territory with the innovative rollout of new music via streaming and digital platforms last year, culminating in the release of a special, three-disc collection, “The 21 Project”.
Lafferty, a professional songwriter, got his start playing in bands of his own and touring with other artists. In 2013, he signed with Still Working Music/BMG Chrysalis and works in Nashville with music industry veteran and fellow West Virginia native Jeff Stevens, who is known for his work with Luke Bryan, George Strait, and Tim McGraw.
