Will Hutchens is a songwriter from Stuart, VA. Growing up in a musical family, he was taught piano by his grandmother at an early age.  He then learned bass guitar to play in his church praise and worship band. He began playing acoustic guitar and songwriting at 16. While attending NC State University, he kept writing and played singer/songwriter nights. Upon graduation from college, Will embarked on a career in business, but his passion for songwriting continued to grow. “I’ve known since I was 16 that I had to write songs. Regardless of what I was doing to make a living, I had to write songs,” said Hutchens. Blending his traditional roots with contemporary country tones, he hopes to bring a fresh sound to Music Row.

Will has penned multiple #1 Bluegrass songs, and his song, "Heyday", recorded by Lonesome River Band was nominated for Song of The Year by The International Bluegrass Music Association in 2023. Written with his father, Barry Hutchens, the song has helped catapult his career. “It is truly a blessing to have this song recorded by Lonesome River Band and heard around the country. It’s a song of nostalgia, hopefully of pride, for small town folks all over,” Hutchens commented. “It’s also given me some credibility to get in the room with more great writers,” he noted.

Will commutes to Nashville regularly from his home in Southern Pines, NC, where he lives with his wife (Laura) and two kids (James & Maggie).
