Sam Hunt’s photographer/videographer Chase Lauer took over our social media to go behind the scenes with Sam in Helotes, TX yesterday! Hunt’s been on the road with the CMT Up in Smoke Tour along with Kip Moore and Charlie Worsham (check out our review here), and preparing for the release of his debut album Montevallo, which hits stores tomorrow (10/27). In case you missed it, here’s a recap of what it’s like to be on tour with Hunt!
Starting in the morning…
