Learn all about new artist, Hayden Haddock, with this Q&A.
Q: You are currently busy touring, recording and are a full time student at Texas A&M. How do you juggle it all?
It definitely gets tough sometimes, but just basic time management is key. I try to just get all my school work done during the week to leave the weekends free for touring.
Q: With Type 1 diabetes, how do you maintain a healthy lifestyle while on the road?
Luckily, i’ve had plenty of time to adapt to having T1D since I was diagnosed at 8 years old. I try to just make health conscious decisions when it comes to eating, but that doesn’t mean I say no to a good ole Whataburger!
Q: What is your go to snack when touring?
My go to snack on the road would have to be Cheeto Hot Fries and a Bang energy drink.
Q: What is your favorite song to play at your live show?
My favorite song to play live would have to be “Don’t Bother Calling” off of my EP or a new song called “Where You Come In”!
Q: You are currently in the studio working on your sophomore project with Trent Willmon. What has been the most exciting part of the recording process for you so far?
My favorite part of recording is definitely tracking day with the band. I love it because you get to hear your songs take on a whole new personality and really come to life.
Q: What was it like writing with HIT songwriters during your first trip to Nashville?
It was a little intimidating, honestly. I don’t think of myself as a great songwriter yet, so I was just so fortunate to be able to learn from those guys and help better myself as a songwriter.
Q: What can fans expect from your next record?
This next project will definitely top the last, as it should. It is 100% true, authentic country music which is what I stand for. I think every song on this next record has the potential to be a hit!
Q: Since you are also a full time student, what is your favorite course you are currently taking?
I’m not a big fan of school (don’t tell my parents) but if I have to choose I would say Materials and Methods just because it’s teaching me things that can actually be used in everyday life.
Q: What is the most exciting show/venue you have played so far?
My favorite show has probably been playing at The Rustic Dallas. It was a packed house, a very interactive crowd, and I had a lot of old friends show up which was pretty cool.
Q: When can we expect the new music?
We are shooting to have the new record out by early January of 2020. We just might release a single before then, so stay tuned for that!
Q: Lastly, since we are Focus on the 615, what is your favorite restaurant in Nashville?
I have been to a lot of great restaurants there, but I think my favorite would have to be Kayne Prime!

Delta Rae has never shied away from speaking their minds, especially on tough subjects. Holljes siblings Brittany, Ian and Eric were raised to educate themselves on issues affecting their community, watching their feminist mother call for change in spite of public berating. The lead-by-example message stuck with them and bandmates Liz Hopkins, Grant Emerson and Mike McKee as a cornerstone of their group – to make music that matters on whatever platforms available. As political tensions rise, the #MeToo Movement unfolds and new generations head to the polls, the six-piece knows the importance of getting your “
