Five-time GRAMMY nominated, PLATINUM-selling multi-instrumentalist Hunter Hayes has announced his new album, ‘Evergreen’, set for release on March 6, 2026. This highly anticipated project features pop, country, R&B, and indie rock-infused elements, all while exploring uplifting themes of growth, connection, and joy. Recorded with Alex Flagstad, ‘Evergreen’ captures the full scope of Hayes’ creativity with songs that are as emotionally rich as they are musically daring. Previous singles like the buoyant “Around the Sun,” the vulnerable “Every Piece,” and the infectious “Wait” reveal Hayes as a songwriter in constant evolution, whose heart-forward storytelling continues to resonate across generations.
Hayes shared that the record started as a series of letters from his future self, acting as both a prayer and a manifestation. He explained: “Evergreen started as a series of letters from my future self. In some ways a prayer, and in some ways manifestation. I wanted to make a project from the future. It’s full of hope, optimism, light and love. It’s an escape from reality as well as a new way to appreciate the good things in our everyday life, and how every experience shapes us to better and brighter versions of ourselves as we create a better version of our future.” The album is a warm, cinematic statement on growth, renewal, and self-discovery, blending hope and emotional clarity into a deeply personal yet universally resonant collection, guided by his motto, “Be good to yourself and the world around you.”
To support the release, Hayes also revealed details for The Evergreen Tour, his 2026 headlining run that kicks off on March 25 in Hopewell, VA. Fans can expect to hear new music, old favorites, and surprises along the way, with stops including New York, Portland, Chicago, Atlanta, and Nashville, among many others across the U.S. Hunter Hayes has brought on BLÜ EYES and Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines as special guests for the tour, with BLÜ EYES supporting the first half and Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines supporting the second half. The general on-sale for tickets launches Friday, December 12 at 10:00AM local time.
