NEW ARTIST INFORMATION!!!! [VIDEO]

Okay, so part of my job is talking on the phone with music people, most of them are in Nashville. Every Wednesday I get to talk music with these music folks. And today, I learned of a new artist, from Louisiana, who I am super duper excited about!!!

Hunter Hayes is this guys name. And thanks to technology, You Tube (and Hunters family), his talent has literally been chronicled since he began performing. . AS A TODDLER!!

Hunter will be an opening act for---wait for it----TAYLOR SWIFT!!!! He will be opening for her during the North American portion of her 'Speak Now' Tour.

I couldn't wait to tell you! (Because I expect big things from this young man) His "people" (the music industry folks) tell me that he wrote 11 of the 13 songs that will appear on his upcoming album.

His music has not been released for radio play yet, but you can check out his website here.

Take a look at this video of Hunter Hayes, as a little fella he was fearless, playing the accordion and singing for a huge crowd alongside Hank Williams Jr.

And take a look at Hunter work this guitar!
