Hayes and six kids star in new video
TikTok and country star Walker Hayes has teamed with Great Clips for a back-to-school campaign that features a clip of an unreleased song. The hair salon has enlisted Hayes and his six kids to star in a new video called “In the Green Room” which features the family singing the chorus to the Hayes’ song “Haircut.”
To help launch the campaign, Hayes and his six children recently visited a Great Clips salon in Murfreesboro, TN to get fresh haircuts ahead of back-to-school season. The video explores the similarities of Walker performing on tour and his kids resuming school as well as the powerful role that a haircut from Great Clips can play in building confidence. The video also features a chorus from Hayes’ song called “Haircut” that reinforces the feeling that someone experiences after getting a great haircut.
“There’s nothing like that feeling from a fresh new haircut. I know from my own experience going back-to-school and with my kids, how big of a boost a haircut can provide to tackle whatever you’re facing,” the award-winning country music artist and songwriter shares. “I’m also really happy to be able to give fans a sneak peek of this song ‘Haircut’ because the message of what a haircut can offer in terms of confidence fits so well with Great Clips and this campaign.”
Over the last few years, Monument Records recording artist Walker Hayes has experienced just about the highest high an artist can dream of. After grinding for nearly 20 years in Nashville, he struck gold with his smash hit “Fancy Like.” For months, the fun-filled tune could be heard in every bar, restaurant, sports game or tailgate, all while hundreds of thousands of people danced to it on TikTok. The song garnered Hayes a Grammy nomination, among many other accolades, and led to a sold out, headlining arena tour.
Earlier this year, Hayes released the two-track retrospective, Being a Dad and Missing Mine. The set features “6 String American Dream” that reflects seeing his music dreams come true, while facing the loss of his father and seventh child. The other track, titled “If Father Time Had a Daughter,” is equally as introspective and finds Hayes begging Father Time to have mercy on the fathers who have to watch their little girls grow up so fast.
