Show #28 Will Hoge’s “My American Dream”

Will HogeBy Ken Paulson

Two great ways to celebrate democracy:

1. Vote on Nov. 6.

2. Buy Will Hoge’s My American Dream.

At a time of intense polarization, surprisingly few artists have used their music to reflect their political beliefs. Will Hoge is the laudable exception to that, as evidenced by his compelling new collection of socially conscious songs. It’s no surprise; his earlier Modern American Protest Music was similarly striking.

This week’s edition of the Americana Music News Podcast features a conversation with Will about his music and the state of the Union.
