Texas red-dirt singer-songwriter Hayden Haddock rocketed from a dorm-room YouTube clip in 2018 to a breakout country artist. The Texas A&M grad has since stacked up 12 million streams, 1.4 million YouTube views and 90 k followers, backing it with 80-plus shows a year alongside Randall King, Randy Rogers Band, Casey Donahew and others. Writing with hitmakers Trent Willmon, Kevin Fowler, David Lee Murphy and Terry McBride, Haddock has landed six singles on the Texas charts, including the 2025 No. 1 “Front Porch in the Rain” and three more Top 10s. Industry buzz followed—features in Billboard, Taste of Country, The Boot—and a “New Male Vocalist of the Year” trophy at the 2021 Texas Regional Radio Music Awards. Channeling influences like George Strait, Cody Johnson and Clay Walker, Haddock serves up hook-heavy modern country; his latest single, “Keep Me Up” (May 2025), kicks off a run of new releases and a touring schedule that shows no sign of slowing.
