Please join the Bay County Fair and Youth Exposition as we enjoy a wonderful night of country music. Waylon Hanel and his full band will be performing.Twenty-three-year-old Waylon Hanel is a self-taught singer songwriter characterized by his textured vocals and endearing ability to captivate audiences. The Michigan native has quickly become recognized for his down-to-earth style, bold delivery and vivid storytelling. Named after country music legend Waylon Jennings (one of his biggest influences), Hanel has worked to hone his skills in developing a vintage signature style of his own. His music and recordings are a testament to his unique, artistic individuality and powerful delivery well beyond his years.
Waylon Hanel made his official introduction with his self-titled EP (WAYLON HANEL/Nov. 2022), featuring five original tunes, and followed by his sophomore CD, NEW OLD OUTLAWS in May 2023. “New Old Outlaws Rewind”, the spotlighted bonus track charted No. 54 on the MusicRow Mainstream Country Breakout Chart in Spring 2023. Waylon released his second single “He Don’t Mind” to country radio in June 2023 also charting at No. 54. His third single “Lighten That Load” off his third album entitled DON’T MESS WITH MY COUNTRY charted No. 43 in Spring 2024. Waylon’s current single “Blackberry Brandy” at country radio now entered the chart as the HIGHEST DEBUTED SINGLE in early December 2024.
In the five short years since Waylon Hanel launched his music career, he has performed as support act opening for Trace Adkins, Travis Tritt, Chris Cagle, Walker Hayes, Ashley McBryde, Josh Turner, Jo Dee Messina, Tyler Farr, Mitchell Tenpenny, Lonestar, Matt Stell, Elvie Shane, Jerrod Niemann, Uncle Kracker, Creed Fisher, Ray Scott, Colt Ford, Chayce Beckham and Ward Davis. September 2024 Waylon Hanel had the honor to perform the National Anthem for PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP in Flint MI as well as VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE in late October 2024 in Saginaw MI.
