BIO

In May 2010, two weeks after a thousand-year flood devastated parts of Nashville, TN, Will Hoge and his band drove 14 hours back home to perform a single song on stage at the historic Ryman Auditorium. He’d been invited to perform the finale of a nationally televised benefit concert stacked with high-profile artists like Keith Urban, Keb Mo and Brad Paisley. But as a native son of Nashville and a true home-town rock star with an extraordinary ability to connect with a crowd, Hoge’s powerhouse vocal on “Washed By The Water” proved the perfect climax and well worth the long haul.

“I really love Nashville,” says Will. “It’s such an important part of who I am musically and as a person. So it was validating for me and the band to feel like no matter how many records we’ve sold, among all the others who were on, they saw something in what we do that moves people.”

Truth be told, Hoge has sold quite a few albums on his way to regional and national fame, and he’s been moving people on stage for well over a decade. It’s what he does. He’s an artist people see over and over again, because every show is unique and gripping. His songs, while not cheerful on the surface, have the cathartic power of the blues for their recognizable human situations. And then there’s the voice – like a human Hammond B3 – clear here, rough there and drenched with dynamics and soul. He’s blazed brightly without going off the rails and he’s grown as a songwriter. He’s survived and thrived through endless miles in vans and busses, landing and unraveling a mainstream record deal as well as a life-altering scooter accident. If, as we read in Rolling Stone and elsewhere, Nashville has finally landed on the national rock and roll map, Hoge has been there all along.

Now he comes forth with Number Seven, the seventh studio LP of his career, and the lucky number tattooed on his arm. Its eleven songs survey the struggles of the heart that are Hoge’s songwriting stock in trade while revealing enticing range and freshness on the sonic front. In places it leans folky-twangy, in others, it’s stridently loud and large, with layered, goose-bumpy guitar textures. Acting as his own producer for the first time, Will says this album feels truer to his personal vision than any he’s made. Yes, artists say that all the time, but the confluence of events in Hoge’s life and career, plus his sheer believability, make this the first and most compelling endorsement of the many that are sure to follow.
