Will Hoge My American Dream CD

Will Hoge didn't really need to release a new album in 2018. His most recent, Anchors, came out last August, reaching No. 6 on Billboard Heatseekers and the Top 20 on the Indie chart. He'd toured the United States and Europe, and could've settled in from there. But there was something he couldn't stop thinking about: his children.

Border police. Political corruption. Anti-intellectualism. Poverty. Gun control. A broken education system. Indifference to others' suffering. Each of these things weighed on Hoge, and he confronts them all head-on in My American Dream, which will come with a copy of the U.S. Constitution printed with the lyrics in both the LP and CD (out October 5th on Edlo/Thirty Tigers).

Hoge has never been afraid to wade into political territory,  and the point of this new material is to continue to push Hoge — and his listeners — even further outside of the comfort zone.

With My American Dream, Hoge hopes that others will follow his lead, see the world through someone else's eyes, and maybe — just maybe — begin to fix the mess we're living in.
