Will Hoge

Rock n roll baptism - that's what it feels like every time Will Hoge and his band take the stage. . . - The Philadelphia Intelligencer

Explosive live performances, non-stop touring and a commitment to songwriting have earned Will Hoge a fanatical following as well as critical acclaim. Through sharp lyricisms and strong melodies, his songs tell stories that are delivered with a passion and desperation that demand attention. His latest live album, Again Somewhere Tomorrow, is sonic proof of what Will's fans have known for years - that he's one of the most powerfully expressive rock singers today.

Will and his band live the rock life of touring, writing and recording from their Nashville base. He epitomizes an ideal for rock musicians: free-spirited and individualistic, knowledgeable of the past but not obsessed with it and eminently capable of bringing renewed creative energy and passion to his music and performance. His trademark blend of classic and contemporary elements were decisively defined in his debut album, Carousel, which set the tone for subsequent albums, including Blackbird On A Lonely Wire, The America EP and The Man Who Killed Love.

His albums feature muscular, soulful, working class rock n roll that listeners feel as well as hear. With powerful songs about love, loss, longing and joy, thundering rhythms and searing guitars, audiences are instantly reminded as to why they fell in love with rock n roll in the first place.

Some folks have been known to have a little trouble finding the Gray Eagle for the first time as it's not located in a pedestrian-heavy area. Once they locate it between Future Traditions warehouse and the Silver Dollar cafe though, they'll see that it's really not that far from all the downtown action and stands guard over Asheville's River Arts District. Quaint and cozy, the Gray Eagle seems to be a modified house-turned-listening room. The Eagle has always been known for it's crystal clear sound, bluegrass, zydeco, and contra dancing. Recently, they have been making a name for themselves on the indie rock circuit, with Harvest Records presenting a series of concerts there. You can go hungry to the Gray Eagle because it hosts the Twin Cousins Kitchen, serving up authentic Cajun cuisine. The Gray Eagle has a capacity of just over 600 people and is NON-SMOKING. All ages are welcome, beer and wine is served.
