FIREKEEPERS CASINO HOTEL WELCOMES COUNTRY MUSIC SENSATION WALKER HAYES
Walker Hayes, known for his energetic performances and chart-topping hits, has made waves in the music industry with his unique blend of country pop. In 2021, his smash hit “Fancy Like” dominated the charts, spending over six months at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and reaching the top 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Songs. The song's massive success earned Hayes his first GRAMMY Award nomination for Best Country Song and was featured in a nationwide Applebee’s commercial.
Following the success of “Fancy Like,” Hayes continued to captivate audiences with singles such as “AA,” “Y’all Life,” and “Good With Me,” solidifying his position as one of the top-selling and most-streamed artists in country music.
His current project, "Sober Thoughts," features the single “Same Drunk,” showcasing Hayes' unparalleled songwriting talent and storytelling prowess. In a unique collaboration, Hayes partnered with Athletic Brewing to create a custom non-alcoholic beer inspired by the song.
Hayes has performed his music to national audiences on prominent platforms such as Good Morning America, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and TODAY. His life story will also be adapted into a TV drama series by Untitled Entertainment.
