Will Hoge
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK
Fri. March 21
Will Hoge, Scott Terry, Red Clay Music Foundry—Americana heartland rocker Hoge hits town supporting a new solo album that is truly solo. He plays every instrument on Tenderhearted Boys but will have a full band along for a set of songs that are more reflective, introspective and somber than in the past. He’ll still ramp up the energy for crowd favorites like the wonderful “John Prine’s Cadillac,” and include tunes from his recently reissued 2001 debut, but will likely spend much of the set on the newer material. Scott Terry, from Red Wanting Blue, opens. — Hal Horowitz

Will Hoge will release of Tenderhearted Boys, the Grammy-nominated artist’s 14th studio album on Friday, April 12. Unapologetically contrarian — an insurgent of authenticity — Hoge takes the helm on this new showcase where he breaks new ground by producing and playing every instrument himself.
Each track unfolds as a chapter in Hoge's sonic autobiography, exploring the beauty found in all the nuanced corners of modern life. Tenderhearted Boys is not just an album; it's a journey into the uncharted territories of musical expression, where vulnerability meets rebellion, and every note carries the weight of the artist's unfiltered soul.
Will Hoge has a career whose milestones include Number One hits, Grammy nods, major-label record deals, and hard-won independence. Years before Americana music received its own category at the Grammy Awards, Hoge was on the frontlines, helping to pilot and popularize the genre's blend of American roots music. In the current digital era dominated by influencers seeking shortcuts to stardom, Will Hoge proudly treads the scenic route, immersing himself in the journey rather than fixating on the destination.
