Norm Pratt with Robert Hoke
Norm Pratt’s music blends diverse influences into a sound that feels both familiar and distinctly his own. Born in Michigan and raised in Arizona, his musical path has taken him through solo work, collaborations, and production. He released his first album, Watermark, in 1995, followed by Color Blind, and later co-founded Perfect Circle Records to showcase Arizona songwriters. His latest album, The Inner Core (2023), continues that evolution, with another release planned for Spring 2026.
A longtime performer, Norm spent over 15 years playing with Arizona music legend Bob Meighan while also working in duos and bands. He continues to record and produce artists at his Cave Creek studio, The Adobe. Joining him is Robert Hoke, a Phoenix-based multi-instrumentalist known for supporting top local songwriters as a sideman, while also creating his own body of instrumental and soundtrack work as a solo artist.
