ABOUT WAYLON HANEL: Waylon Hanel is a 23-year-old self-taught country singer-songwriter and recording artist from Millington, Michigan, whose textured vocals, vivid storytelling, and honest delivery have quickly made him one of country music’s rising talents. Named after his musical hero Waylon Jennings, Hanel blends outlaw country, blues, and southern rock into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh.
