Why We Dig Him: Not only is Walker Hayes an formidable songwriter, but his boyish good looks, clever sense of humor and bluesy southern voice make him destined for stardom. As a college student, Walker earned a music degree -- with an emphasis on piano -- from Birmingham-Southern College. Describing himself as "country, soul-bluesy and youthful," Walker is currently writing and recording for his debut album on Capitol Records.
