Family-friendly movie stars James Cromwell, Bailee Madison, Jackson Rathbone, Frankie Faison, Alicia Witt
The movie features three of Hayes’ songs, including her 2010 Top 40
Music Row single, “C’mon,” which can be heard in the “Cowgirls N’
Angels” preview trailer
here.
Hayes plays a honky tonk singer in the film and performs the song as
part of a prominent line dancing scene. Also included is “Always There
For Me,” a previously unreleased duet with Lonestar front man Richie
McDonald, who has a cameo as Amber’s father in the same scene. “Right
As Rain” is the third Hayes track featured in the film. All three songs
are included on the official “Cowgirls N’ Angels” soundtrack, available
on
iTunes or
Amazon.com.
“I am so excited for this movie to finally come out!” says Hayes. “I
got to film my part last year in Oklahoma, which is where I’m originally
from, so it was a big thrill for me to be near my family and friends
for a few days. Having never shot a movie before, everything was such a
cool experience for me, and getting to work around people like James
Cromwell and Bailee Madison was just awesome. It’s a great,
heart-warming family film, and I’m so proud to have been a part of it. I
can’t wait to see it in the theater!”
Hayes recently finished recording her sophomore album in Nashville,
with plans to release the project later this year. Tracks “Somewhere
Out West,” “I Built This Wall” and the uplifting “Any Day Is A Good Day”
are available to stream at

An accomplished theater performer, Hayes’ break in Nashville came
during her role as Kathy Twitty in the 2008-2009 Conway Twitty
production, “Conway Twitty: The Man, The Music, The Legend, The
Musical.” Hayes released her debut C’mon EP in 2010, which included her second Music Row Top 40 single, 2011’s “Wait.”
