Will Hoge
For two decades, Will Hoge has carried the torch for American rock & roll, carving out his own blue-collar sound rooted in amplified guitars, melodic hooks, southern soul, and rootsy stomp. It’s a sound that nods to the best moments of the past — the punch of Tom Petty’s anthems; the countrified twang of Buck Owens’ singing; the raw, greasy cool of the Rolling Stones — while still pushing forward into new territory, with Hoge’s storytelling and larger-than-life voice leading the charge.
Trends come and go. Yet Will Hoge remains a mainstay of the Americana landscape, hitting the road year after year, turning new pages of a career whose twists and turns — including Number One hits, a near-death experience, major-label record deals, and hard-won independence — sound like stuff of some long-lost movie script.
Jesse Daniel Edwards
Jesse Daniel Edwards is an award-winning, independent songwriter hailing from the small mountain town of Cuyamaca, CA (pop. 60). As a child, Jesse and his 6 siblings grew up without television, internet, or significant exposure to the outside world. He spent his time learning to sing harmony to gospel tracks and tinkering on hand-me-down instruments with his grandpa (JDE composed his first song at age 5 about his mother’s meatloaf). Leaving home at 16, he spent his late teen years busking on street corners around the US and abroad. After a chance encounter, John Prine's manager took the budding songwriter under his wing in Nashville. Jesse eventually grew to perform on the festival and university circuits full-time, releasing 5 recordings and performing with the likes of Jason Mraz, First Aid Kit, and John Prine. Since that time, Jesse has continued to travel, write, and produce his heartfelt brand of lyric-based music in Nashville. Known for his passionate vocals and smart lyrics, his characteristic alternative sound is infused with folk, pop, and a touch of soul. HIs most recent recording, produced by Steve Cropper (Otis Redding) was reviewed as "full of courage and catharsis" (American Songwriter). His songs have been regularly featured on the radio, TV, streaming movies, video games, and 3 independent films.
