AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo reports from Lansing’s Adado Riverfront Park for the 2018 Common GroundMusic Festival. In this gallery, you’ll see photos from Thursday, July 8. Country singer Hunter Hayes opened up for Kip Moore on the Auto Value Stage. Hayes released his self-titled debut album in 2011 and became the youngest male act to ever top the Billboard Hot Country Songs. He has been nominated for five Grammy Awards and won the CMA Award for New Artist of the Year in 2012. The 25-year old recently got in the mindset of “starting over” and has explored a no-holds-barred, loose atmosphere of writing, recording and cutting new tracks with his trusted band.
