🟥 GUEST: WALKER HAYES
Walker Hayes is an American country music singer and songwriter, born on December 27, 1979, in Mobile, Alabama. He moved to Nashville in 2005 to pursue a career in music. Before making it big, Hayes faced many struggles, working in various jobs, including waiting tables, while trying to break into the industry.
His career took off in 2010 when he signed with Capitol Records and released his first single, "Pants," which charted on the Billboard Hot Country Songs. Despite some early success, Hayes' journey was filled with ups and downs, including being dropped from his label and facing financial difficulties. However, he didn’t give up, continuing to write songs and develop his unique blend of country music with pop influences.
In 2017, Hayes' career saw a resurgence with the release of his album Boom. The single "You Broke Up with Me" became a breakthrough hit, reaching the top 10 on the country charts. His songwriting often blends clever lyrics with a conversational tone, resonating with a broad audience.
Hayes is perhaps best known for his viral 2021 hit "Fancy Like," which became a cultural phenomenon. The song, with its catchy lyrics about a simple, relatable life, skyrocketed to the top of the charts and even sparked a viral TikTok dance challenge. "Fancy Like" brought Hayes mainstream recognition, earning him multiple award nominations and collaborations.
Hayes' music often reflects his life experiences, including personal struggles, family life, and fatherhood. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Laney Beville Hayes, and they have six children. Beyond his chart-topping hits, Walker Hayes has built a reputation for perseverance and authenticity, connecting with fans through his storytelling and down-to-earth personality.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
