Are you ready to kick off Bayou Country weekend tomorrow? We are! So far, we've looked at some of the Friday and Saturday artists. Here's some of Sunday's lineup:

Hunter Hayes

A Louisiana native, Hunter Hayes began his musical career at the age of 2 when his grandmother gave him a toy accordion. Hayes grew up performing nationally and locally, and at the age of 16, he moved to Nashville to work as a songwriter, and in 2011, he began touring with Taylor Swift, where his national popularity began. Hayes released his second studio album, Storyline, this month.

Eric Church

Known for his outlaw persona, Eric Church is known for his honky-tonk roots with a twist. He's been quoted saying, "It's an interesting time in country music; everything's up in the air and all the genre barriers are breaking down." With his first studio album released in 2006, Church has made waves in country music with singles such as "Springsteen" and "Drink in My Hand." Church's most recent studio album, Outsiders, was released last fall.

Jason Aldean 

Now that you've gotten a bit of background on the weekend's performers, who are you looking forward to seeing the most?
