Hunter Hayes had the audience in his pocket, from the moment he opened the show, wailing away on his guitar to a fiery “I Want Crazy”. Immediately, everybody was on their feet. It was an instant love affair between Hunter Hayes and his fans. You could feel the excitement from the crowd. He thanked everyone coming out to see him and informed us his first sold out show was right here in Colorado.
Hayes is not only an extremely talented singer/songwriter but he is also an accomplished musician on numerous instruments including the guitar, drums, bass and piano. As he belted through songs like the bluesy "Somebody's Heartbreak" and "Tattoo", it was clear this guy is a great performer. His hits "Invinsible" and the quadruple-platinum "Wanted" were undisputedly the highlights of the show.
With a mix of older songs and newer songs, and even brand new songs, Hayes effortlessly held the crowd’s attention all night long.

Overall Impression:
Hunter Hayes is so alive on the stage. He is a dynamic and energetic performer who makes you feel like each show is his first one. Bouncing back and forth across the stage he interacts with the audience. He is the real deal with well crafted, thoughtful songs and excellent musicianship. He's entertaining, charasmatic, artistic, and a lot of fun, not only to hear sing, but hear him speak. He connects, amazingly, to his fans.
I’m a concert junkie who loves some solid live music and Hayes delivered!
