Waylon Wyatt

The songs of Waylon Wyatt, with their no-frills acoustic arrangements and old-soul lyrics, have proven resonant with country music audiences. Within a year of releasing the breakthrough singles “Arkansas Diamond” and “Everything Under the Sun,” Wyatt enjoyed a banner year as a rising artist, opening for acts like Dwight Yoakam and signing a major-label deal -- all before earning his high school diploma.
