When it comes to music, rising country artist, Walker Hayes, is connecting with fans in a whole new way. This summer alone, Hayes has performed for over 250,000 fans through a string of stellar shows around the country. To thank those who have provided their overwhelming support this past year, he wanted to do something "off the beaten path" and the only real way he knows how - through his music.

Each Tuesday throughout the month of August, Hayes will be performing newly penned songs for his fans via Instagram Live. Fans will get a "first listen" of the music he has been working on over the last few months. This is the first sign of new music for Hayes since the release of his album boom. at the end of last year, which produced the Platinum-selling single "You Broke Up With Me" and the critically acclaimed song "Craig," for which the coinciding charity "Be A Craig Fund" was created.

Hayes' first Instagram Live performance is set for Tuesday, July 31st.

Even with his busy summer schedule, Hayes has been steadily busy writing and recording tracks for his forthcoming second album.
