Listen "Spencer Hatcher | Performance Studio"
Episode Synopsis
Spencer Hatcher, a 28-year-old Virginian, played unreleased "Love Button," "Cold Beer and Common Sense" and "When She Calls Me Cowboy" alongside younger brother Connor Hatcher in KYGO's Performance Studio.
Hatcher was brought up in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, where he was raised on bluegrass and the music of country greats like George Strait, George Jones, Buck Owens and Roy Clark. Bluegrass took hold of Hatcher, which led him to learn how to play the mandolin – which he "didn't really care for much" – at age 8 and banjo at 12. From there, he started playing with others and in front of an audience during jam sessions, even at the cost of missing Friday night football games. During those days, he played as one of the Hatcher Boys, a bluegrass family band that included Connor and his father.
He continued to pursue music while in college, participating in four different groups throughout, even playing in a professional bluegrass band. Ironically, that's when his passion for country music took hold, and when COVID hit in 2020, the Virginian decided to redirect his attention to the genre.
It was around this time that he started posting music content on Facebook and later to other social media platforms, quickly earning thousands of followers.
The "When She Calls Me Cowboy" singer has now amassed over 700,000 followers on TikTok and released his first EP – "Honky Tonk Highway" – in November.
