Nashville’s americana singer, songwriter and musician Will Hoge is announcing his new album My American Dream. Due out on 5th October via EDLO/Thirty Tigers, it is described as being “the fiercest, angriest, and most heartfelt collection of songs he’s released”.
The first single to be released from the record is the heartfelt Thoughts and Prayers, a song which was inspired by the recent spate of school shootings in America and the inept response of politicians when dealing with these. The relatively simple, acoustic song conveys a strong message from Hoge, an artist who isn’t afraid to speak out when it comes to politics. The accompanying video can be viewed below:
