@hunterhayes: "I’ve waited over a decade to say this… My first fully independent album, more than 3 years in the making – RED SKY – will be out everywhere APRIL 21st! This project is about the adventure of finding yourself to be yourself. Musically, it’s a road trip from where I’ve been to where I am.
