Living just outside of Nashville, the 34-year-old country artist from the Sault has performed thousands of shows throughout the Music City strip, meeting countless celebrities and sharing many of his own songs along the way.
“This guy came up to me and handed me his card,” Hanes recalled. “He said, ‘I’ve never seen energy like you have – we need your energy.’ Six months had passed, so I assumed it wasn’t going to happen. Then he suddenly messaged me and said we’re ready to start setting up your tour.” “The bases in The Bahamas, Honduras, and Cuba this month were a lot looser because they’re allowed to drink,” he added. “It’s a whole different concept on this side of the world, it’s more training facilities than they are combat. But these people are still gone for years at a time, so they need the entertainment.”
Feeling jetlagged at five in the morning following a show in Kuwait, Hanes began writing a song in his hotel room about his gratefulness for the military and the special opportunity to perform for them.“I get told that I’m amazing, and that ain’t true. Cause you all are the reason I get to do what I do.”
While the bright lights of Nashville and momentous international tours have kept the country artist busy, Hanes hasn’t forgotten about his roots. A then 19-year-old, he played in a band called Asylum Country with Terry Eaton, Larry Nelson, and TJ Case for several years before making the big move to Nashville at the age of 23.
