Listen to the compelling stories set to music by singer-songwriter Will Hoge.

With force, style and purpose, Will Hoge is one of those singer-songwriters who pull from astonishingly personal experience to craft compelling stories set to music that move and inform the listener, not only about Hoge’s experience, but about their own. Popmatters.com summed him up this way: “If you believe the persona in his songs, he’s not that cool and he’s prone to loneliness and broken hearts. But in truth, once you hear that voice you’ll know otherwise.” His new album is titled Number Seven.
