Allen Hayes was placed on the official ballot for the 67th Grammy™ Awards, a rare recognition for an independent artist and songwriter.

He has been critically dubbed "Country Music's Modern Maestro" deftly transitioning from military service and back to the stage. Taking pride in sharing his authentic life experiences, Allen crafts songs and sings nothing but the truth while sonically creating boundary-shifting traditional country music that stirs the soul and feels like you're speaking with an old friend.

Hailing from Atlanta Georgia, Allen picked up the guitar as a teenager and began playing honky-tonks and writing original songs. Allen set his dream of pursuing music on the back-burner to serve in the United States Air Force which resulted in multiple combat tours.

Now residing in the Wild West of New Mexico, Allen continues to write with wide influences such as Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, Clint Black, Garth Brooks, while bringing his own unique voice and writing style to the forefront.
