Well, we've been waiting for this for a really long time! Acadiana's own Hunter Hayes will release his debut cd on Atlantic Records Nashville Oct 11. Hunter wrote, or co wrote every single track...no suprise there. Hunter has been burning up the charts with his new single "Storm Warning", and also making lots of new fans with his opening slot on the Taylor Swift tour. Also, be on the lookout for a song by Hunter on the upcoming soundtrack to the movie "Footloose" Hunter, your hometown of Breaux Bridge, and all of Acadiana are so proud of you!

For those of you who want a little background and see what he's accomplished so far in his life, check out the video below.
