What a year 2013 has been already for Hunter Hayes.  He started off the year with a performance at the Grammys and getting 6 ACM nominations (2nd only to Eric Church, who got 7.)  The ‘Somebody’s Heartbreak’ singer also expects to have new music for fans this year.  As for true romance?

Well, he’s still searching. He's single and looking — when time allows. So, what does his dream girl look like?  Hunter said “I don’t even have a type I don’t think, my type is just whoever can get along with me. As geeky and as high-energy as I am it’s gonna take somebody pretty patient.” He also adds  “I believe when you meet the right person it clicks, and you both know and you start making it work."

The Grammy Awards found Hayes talking face-to-face with one of his musical heroes, John Mayer. John sought out Hayes, rather than the other way around. “He actually found my dressing room, right before the show, he heard I was nervous and said, ‘Dude, you’re gonna rock it, do your thing.’”  Hunter later said that, you suddenly feel very insecure and unaccomplished as a person in life,..

You can see and enjoy Hunter Hayes in person yourself at the Taste Of Country Music Festival along with Lady Antebellum and Willie Nelson and more. Get your tickets by going here.  The three-day camping and music party takes place at Hunter Mountain in New York from June 13-15
