Hello to all my peeps, I hope you are all well! Im sitting at my house for a few days off (have only been here about 3 weeks total in 7 months when this tour ends). I wanted to take a minute and check in and say hi, and give you a little news.

First off, the tour has been going really great and I couldnt thank you all enough for coming and supporting us out there! Ernie left us after the show in Knoxville, and we pick up our other pal Tony Lucca tmrw to finish out the rest of the tour. I hope you all can make it out to a show still if you havent. This is a big week for me as Tuesday is my birthday and also the day we release "Aint No Sunshine" on itunes for you all, and we finish out the week here in my hometown of Nashville with a BIG show! Come one, come all...

The tour will wrap up in LA on May 2nd, and im going to stick around for a little bit and write before I come home and start recording the Holiday EP. I am SO excited about this. Its the best time of the year for real in my opinion, and I love the seasonal music. We have decided to just do a 6-8 song "EP" for starters. I wrote one of my favorite songs recently that is called "When I Miss You Most" and that will also be the title of the "EP". I'm hoping to have it out soon after Halloween, followed by an acoustic holiday tour to support it right up until Dec. 25.

Speaking of touring... Im having so much fun on this one, that I'm already starting to plan a summer tour! Hoping for mid June-late July! I have been in contact with a friend/great artist about doing this together named Toby Lightman. Im keeping my fingers crossed that this happens with her, because I think the combination of her style and mine would go perfect together! Stay tuned... :)

My brother who was critically injured this past August is getting better every day, and is going out for a small run of shows in a week or so!!! If its not sold out yet, and coming near you then you should DEF go! Very small rooms, very intimate/acoustic setting! I wish I was around to witness one of the shows but unfortunately we always miss each other most of the time because we live on the road. MAYBE one day when he gets back 100%, there could be a Will Hoge with special guest Josh Hoge tour!?!?!?!?! :) Plus that way we could hang out more.

Anywho, I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend! Hope to see you on the road and talk to ya soon...

Cheers,
JHOGE
