He says, “Fan-voted things are special because, you know, they’re voting from the heart. They see the shows. They listen to the music, and they see a lot of great performances, and they hear a lot of great music.”
Hunter spends most of his life committed to making his albums and live shows the best they can be. Getting this confirmation that the fans like what he’s doing means a lot to him.
Hunter adds with a laugh, “That kind of thing just makes you feel a lot better about yourself and what you’re doing. It’s a big deal, man.”
