@JamminJavaMei’s Q&A with Will Hoge

Will Hoge has been playing Jammin Java for a few years now and we’re big fans! He’s had some significant songwriting success recently with his songs “Strong”, “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” and more.  We’re are THRILLED to have him back at Jammin Java October 18 and 19 for the release shows for his new album, “Never Give In”.

Hoge received a Country Music Association nomination, an Academy of Country Music nomination and a Grammy nomination for "Country Song of the Year" for "Even If It Breaks Your Heart". The song was recorded by the Eli Young Band and reached #1 on the country charts.

Tickets are going quick: October 18 and October 19

With each order of 2 or more tickets purchased in advance, you will receive one autographed limited-edition of Will Hoge's "Never Give In" tour poster!




Where was the first your first show? Exit/In, Nashville TN

Favorite Foods:
Sushi, Asian Flank Steak sandwich from Mitchell Delicatessen in Nashville TN


What is one of your most memorable or off-the-wall touring experiences?
I played a gig one time at a brand new venue, and by “brand new venue” I mean they hadn’t finished the construction on the place. They still had sheetrock that hadn’t been put up on the walls, they didn’t have power to half the bar, but they’d announced my show as the grand opening and had to go. Actually, I’ve had a couple of those. I like to think we blew the walls off the joint.


What two words would best describe your music?
True and soulful


Watch Grammy award-nominated singer-songwriter Will Hoge's latest video and the new Silverado anthem, "Strong." Like Will, the hardworking, honest and dependable people who make the Silverado what it is aren't just strong. They're Silverado Strong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HItiJYwAPGQ
