HUNTER PHELPS

​

Songwriter of “Wait In the Truck”, “Give Heaven Some Hell”, “Cold Beer Calling My Name”, “Drinkaby”.

​

Hunter Phelps was born and raised in Niceville, Florida, where he was introduced to songwriting at a young age by his father, who owned a small recording studio. Growing up, his passions included hunting or fishing the bayous and bays of the Florida panhandle, and spending his days teaching himself to play the guitar.  After high school, Hunter attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he began writing songs. He joined a band, started playing tailgate parties and bars around town, and quickly developed a loyal following.

 

Hunter moved to Nashville in 2012, before ever having visited the town and without really knowing how to break into Music City’s circles. Armed with his guitar, he honed his craft in the honky-tonks of Lower Broadway and sharpened his songwriting skills in the writers’ rooms of Music Row.

 

2021 turned into a special year for Hunter with nine radio singles including “Cold Beer Calling My Name” (Jameson Rogers feat. Luke Combs), “Give Heaven Some Hell” (HARDY), “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” (Chase Rice feat. Florida Georgia Line), “Thinkin’ Bout You” (Dustin Lynch feat. Mackenzie Porter), “Best Thing Since Backroads” (Jake Owen), “That Ain’t Me No More” (Matt Stell), “New Truck” (Dylan Scott), “Worst Country Song Of All Time” (Brantley Gilbert, Hardy, Toby Keith) and “Hot Beer” (Dillon Carmichael).

 

He has written 7 chart topping songs with his most recent number #1 being “Wait In The Truck” (Hardy feat. Lainey Wilson) and currently has Hardy’s radio single “Truck Bed” on its way up.
