Hunter Hayes Is Coming To Denver's Ogden Theater In May

BOULDER, CO -- Hunter Hayes, a five-time Grammy Award winner and one of country music’s fastest rising stars, is energizing fans across the country with his “Closer to You” nationwide tour that brings his well-loved music and songs to fans from one coast to another. He will be swinging through Denver May 17, with a show at the Ogden Theater.

A master songwriter, he is a true virtuoso with proficiency with 30 instruments. He offers something different in each of his studio albums, with the last one being his most diverse.

One of the youngest stars ever to be nominated for a Grammy — he has collected 45 nominations in all — Billboard named him the the Leader of Country Music’s Youth Revolution. He has won a slew of other awards, including the 2012 New Artist of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards, the Louisiana native has collected a total of 45 Grammy.

He was only 13 when he burst onto the scene in 2004, appearing on “America’s Most Talented Kids” with his version of the Hank Williams classic, “Hey Good Looking.” When “Wanted” topped Billboard’s Hot Country Song list, he was the youngest male solo artist to top the chart in more than 40 years.

Music, he told Billboard last year, is “the only true addiction I’ve ever had.”

“I've come close to some others, but that's the only one I can't get rid of,” he said. “Everything else feels foreign, but for some reason, when I grab an electric guitar and start laying down parts, that's when I feel like, ‘Ok, this is my voice.’ It allows me to live and see the world from a new perspective, to go places. It gives me experiences. It gives me stories. It's the one place where nothing is in my way -- the diving in, and just trying s--t. It was the first true vision of freedom. The guitar is my wings.”
