Biography
Bradley Hathaway was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas and lived there until 1997, when he moved to Alma, Arkansas, where he graduated from high school in 2000.
After high school, he attended the University of Arkansas, where he majored in philosophy with a double minor in religious studies. From 2001 to 2004 while attending college, he managed the Gate, a local concert venue.[2] In late 2002, he saw poet Clayton Scott perform, which inspired Bradley to write his first poem entitled, "I Felt Really Good This Day, Yes."
Soon after he began writing poetry, he dropped out of college and stopped managing the Gate in order to pursue writing full-time. He first toured in the summer of 2004, and has since toured with He Is Legend, The Chariot, As Cities Burn, Far-Less, and Blindside.Шаблон:Citation needed He has played at the Creation Festival, Ichthus Music Festival,[3] the Alive Festival,[4] the Cornerstone Festival, Parachute Music Festival, Purple Door, and Tomfest music and arts festivalШаблон:Citation needed.

Style
In 2004, Hathaway wrote only spoken word poetry, but has since progressed to writing songs. His first book, All The Hits So Far, But Don't Expect Too Much, was published in August 2005 and included a CD recording of performances of the poems with backing music by Night of the Wrecking Ball.
