Twenty-one-year-old Waylon Hanel is a self-taught musician and singer characterized by his textured vocals and endearing ability to captivate audiences. The Michigan native has quickly become recognized for his down-to-earth style, bold delivery and vivid storytelling. Named after country music legend Waylon Jennings (one of his biggest musical influences), Hanel has worked to hone his skills in developing a vintage signature style of his own. His music and recordings are a testament to his unique, artistic individuality and powerful delivery well beyond his years. 

He made his official introduction with his self-titled EP (WAYLON HANEL/Nov. 2022), featuring five original tunes, and followed with his sophomore CD, NEW OLD OUTLAWS in May 2023. (“New Old Outlaws Rewind” the spotlighted bonus track, charted at No. 54 on the MusicRow Breakout Chart). Waylon released his second single, “He Don’t Mind” to country radio in June 2023.

In the five short years since Waylon launched his music career, he has performed as support act opening for Uncle Kracker, Travis Tritt, Trace Adkins, Chris Cagle, Elvie Shane, Ashley McBryde, Tyler Farr and Jo Dee Messina among others. Waylon’s 2023 tour schedule has exceeded more than 75 show dates on the books with an aggressive tour schedule taking shape in 2024.   “My cowboy hat and boots aren’t just for show, they’re lived-in."

 

NATIONAL ARCHERY REVIEW PODCAST AND TELEVISION SHOW

Bow Hunter Planet Logo

BHP was originally started in Michigan by Dave Thomas and Tim Mazzorana in 2009.  Before that in order to get funding to build the website the guys started a dog waste removal business.  Yes we build BHP on crappy money :).  From the very start the team focused on Youtube and videos demonstrating products in the archery and hunting industry.  The brand became large fast and not long after Kevin Conlan and Jamie Noteboom become owners of the brand as well.  Since that time back in 2009, BHP has grown to over hundreds of thousands of followers, over millions and millions of views and many collaborations within the industry and outside.  No matter how cool products are or how big BHP becomes the overall goal is the same, grow the archery heritage.  Do what Fred Bear set out to do from a new generation of archery.  That is where you come in.  We need you to JOIN THE HUNT with our TEAMBHP and help us grow this sport for generations to come. 

 

Bowhunterplanet is the bowhunting world's top website for content. Much of the BowHunterPlanet success has come from grassroots marketing and appealing to the average consumer. Bowhunterplanet is home to Outdoor Podcast, Testlab, Bonedriven, Classic Series, Realtree Series, Hunt Series and the BHP Podcast.
