NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Last night country superstar Sam Hunt headlined the final night of Red Rocks Unpaused, Visible’s free, three-night virtual concert series that brought in over 7.5M viewers. Hunt performed over an hour at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado giving fans everything from multi-Platinum, record-breaking hits, including many of his seven No. 1s off albums MONTEVALLO and SOUTHSIDE, to brand new unreleased material.
In an unprecedented viewer engagement experience, fans were able to interact with Hunt through messages, emoticons, and audio cheers which were then pumped into the venue for Hunt to see and hear.

Named one of US Weekly’s Best Albums of 2020 so far, SOUTHSIDE is Hunt’s second No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart following his 3x Platinum debut album MONTEVALLO. Like MONTEVALLO, Hunt wrote every track on SOUTHSIDE including his recent back-to-back No. 1 hits “Kinfolks” and “Hard to Forget,” and the record-breaking “Body Like A Back Road.”
The New York Times says SOUTHSIDE is “a reminder that Hunt is a Nashville provocateur who can write better songs than almost everyone he’s trying to provoke,” while Rolling Stone pegs Hunt as “an innovator who has remade country in his own image and also figured out how to reclaim its past.” Billboard notes, “his ace storytelling and ability to incorporate hip-hop influence into a more modernized form of country are still intact,” and Stereogum indicates, “Hunt’s formidable charisma and world-building ability” as the through lines of SOUTHSIDE. The album has also earned praise from American Songwriter, Associated Press, Entertainment Weekly, NPR and more. Listen to SOUTHSIDE HERE
