Hayes Carll is a multi-award winning singer-songwriter based in Nashville, whose latest release, You Get It All, turns droll confessions, messy relationships, motel room respites, and an exasperated, hitchhiking God into modern nuggets.

The New York Times has likened Hayes’ ability to undergird humor with a weightier narrative to Bob Dylan. When he talks about the sounds that are in his own head, Hayes mentions Randy Travis. That juxtaposition defines the singularity of his career: He exists in a space of his own, informed by John Prine, Tom Waits, and Dylan but also by Travis, Kenny Rogers, and Hank Williams, Jr.

Those influences have already resulted in two Americana Music Awards, a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song, and multiple Austin Music Awards. He’s had the most-played record on Americana radio twice. Hayes songs also regularly appear on the screen and have been recorded by Kenny Chesney, Lee Ann Womack, and Brothers Osborne, to name a few.
