Will Hoge

Will Hoge might just be my favorite musician, though a few are up at the top of the list. The only bittersweet thing about listening to his music is that he was introduced to me by an ex-girlfriend... THE ex-girlfriend... so some of the songs about love, heartbreak, etc, are especially powerful.

When I describe Will's style of music to people, it's kind of hard to find a comparison. There's a lot of rock and roll, a little country, folk, indie, and blues all mixed in. It's very unique.

I have seen Will in concert 3 times: once at the 40 Watt in Athens, once at the Roxy in Buckhead, and once at Eddie's Attic in Decatur (for an acoustic set). He was in a bad auto accident back in August of 2008 that put him in the hospital for months, and his first tour date in Atlanta since that time is going to be in late April.

Here are some of my favorite songs. Most of his stuff is more up tempo, but if you know me, you know I like the slower, bluesy songs.


Carousel

King of Grey

When I Can Afford To Lose

Highway's Home

I'm going to see him on April 24 at Eddie's Attic, and I can't wait!
