Singer Songwriter Wade Hayes Releases New Album 6/9

Singer/songwriter Wade Hayes has never been shy about letting his traditional music roots show, and he is going full-on old school with his new Old Country Song album, due out June 9, 2017. The 11 cut collection of old and new songs was produced by Dave McAfee and Hayes and will be released on conabar records.

"I grew up listening to Haggard, Waylon and Willie - classic country artists - and they've all had a huge influence on my writing and my music," said Hayes. "I wanted to make a record that honored them, and I'm really proud of what we came up with."

Wade wrote or co-wrote four of the 11 tracks. He partnered with Clint Ingersoll and Mark Collie on two of the cuts. Roger Springer wrote the title cut, Jon Randall and Jessi Alexander contributed "What You Need From Me," and Chris Stapleton penned "We Needed The Rain." Springer also wrote "All I Know" with Tim Menzies for the album, and Wade's first producer, Don Cook, wrote the Conway Twitty hit "Julia" with John Jarvis. The Merle Haggard/Dean Holloway tune, "Going Where the Lonely Go," rounds out the album.

Fans can catch Wade performing at several events during the CMA Music Festival in Nashville next week, beginning with Storme Warren's Nashville Navy Party at Famous Saloon, 110 2nd Avenue South, on Tuesday, June 6. His Wade Hayes Friends' Fest is set for Wednesday, June 7, 1:30-4:30pm at the Hermitage House Smorgasbord. He will perform on the Durango Music Spot Stage inside XFINITY Fan Fair X in the Music City Center on Thursday, June 8 at 2:35pm. That evening, he will perform at Alley Taps Gin Mill in Printers Alley. Wade will be on the road through the summer performing from Texas to Michigan and from Arizona to Florida, and details on all performances can be found at www.wadehayes.com.
