Sam Hunt

The singer is delivering on his promise of new music with a song delivered at an intimate performance in Canada.

"That’s definitely where the songs are leaning at this point," Hunt says.

At one point he even hung from the stage scaffolding! 

Calling all you Sam Hunt stans ...

The record will get done "come hell or high water," he says.

There are 11 songs on this list and each was released after the year 2000.

The singer showed he can deliver more than just heart-wrenching ballads with his fun performance of "Body Like a Back Road."

There were surprises even the band didn't know about.

The evening was a grand affair, and we've got the photos to prove it.

The talk of the evening was Sam Hunt, who recently shaved his head and beard.

A beardless — almost hairless — "Body Like a Back Road" singer accepted the Gene Weed Milestone Award.

Hunt's morosely contemplative song is given a striking visual treatment that has the singer escaping down south on a motorbike.

The New York festival was a huge success, drawing an enormous amount of country music loving fans!

"As I continue to write songs, I may lean on country roots a little more than where the culture is going, musically...."
