Much like his hometown Nashville, singer Josh Hoge represents Music City’s competing spirits of tradition and rebellion.
A third-generation musician, who loves music, whiskey and rowdy good times, Hoge fits the profile of a typical, lifelong Nashville resident. But the 25-year-old is also part of a growing community of artists who call Nashville home, but do not ascribe to the city’s time-honored twang. But even among those artists, the mix of pop and R&B featured on Hoge’s 11-song debut with Epic Records, Call It What You Want, is one-of-a-kind. “Nashville will always be country, but this town is filled with musicians who are open to everything from Bill Monroe to Bill Withers,” says Hoge, whose voice is honeyed by a good-old-boy drawl. “That’s why there are so many different kinds of music being made here today, for example - rock bands like Kings of Leon. Music City USA used to mean only country, but that’s changing.”
Hoge traces his old-school R&B roots back to the extensive library of music collected by his dad, a rock singer signed to Epic in the 60s. “A lot of it was passed down to him from his father, who played jazz in the 40s,” Hoge explains. “My older brother, who’s a popular indie rocker, inherited all of my dad’s rock records and I was drawn to all of his soul and R&B music. The first record I can remember hearing was by Jackie Wilson. I fell in love with the way he used his voice like an instrument. It blew me away.”
