Hutson is known for his folk music, which is produced by Grammy-winner Phoebe Bridgers. Love was certainly in the air this Valentine's Day as "Stranger Things" star Maya Hawke married musician Christian Lee Hutson on Saturday. The duo tied the knot at St. George's Episcopal Church in New York City. Guests included Hawke's celebrity parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, and Maya's fellow "Stranger Things" stars, including Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Joe Keery, Gaten Matarazzo, and Natalie Dyer, according to People.

Rebecca Sapp/Getty Images for The Recording Academy Hutson was born in Kansas City, Missouri, but was raised in Los Angeles, where he's lived since he was 5. He began playing guitar at 12 and was influenced by Hank Williams and Elliott Smith. Hutson forged a country-folk sound in the early 2010s while part of The Driftwood Singers, a group composed of students from the California Institute of the Arts. He then went solo and released two albums that didn't get much attention. Then everything changed in 2018 when he met Phoebe Bridgers.
