Will Hoge

Not familiar with Will Hoge yet? Now's a good time to get to know him. His new single, 'Middle of America,' is a rock-country anthem that will have fans reminiscing about their own experiences in the heartland while jamming out to a song that gets back to the heart of country music.

Will Hoge's 'Middle of America' video finds the singer truly in the middle of America -- in Gallatin, Tennessee to be exact. He strolls through, singing the country tune right in the heart of the historic town.

Country fashions didn't wilt in the suffocating heat this week. There was work to be done on stages across America, and young hotties like Thomas Rhett and the Band Berry were sure to look great doing it. Casual, sporty, classy -- there's at least half a dozen ways to rock a stage burning red under a late June sunset.

Back in November, Jennifer Nettles stopped in to Marathon Music Works in Nashville for a Spotify-sponsored album preview event. It was there she was joined by singer-songwriter Will Hoge, who took the stage with the Sugarland star to sing his own hit single 'Strong.'

Will Hoge approaches each of the 11 songs on his 'Never Give In' album with an urgency not common in mainstream country music. Something more than simple passion is driving him -- it's an unrelenting need to share his stories and experiences.

Jerrod Niemann and his fans seem up for any challenge. Earlier this week, the singer's new song 'Drink to That All Night' took care of 'I Hold On' by Dierks Bentley. It was a close contest, but in the end, a push from the Kansas-born singer's fans moved the song to a new Showdown round against a song famous for being part of a television commercial.

Singer-songwriter Will Hoge has made his country radio debut with his single 'Strong,' and now he’s all set to release his new album, ‘Never Give In’ on Tuesday (Oct. 15).

There's an internal war being waged in the country genre right now, with Zac Brown saying he is ashamed of the genre and calling Luke Bryan's new track 'That's My Kinda Night' the worst he's ever heard, despite espousing his love for the singer.

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Will Hoge is packing his bags for his first-ever major headlining run, the 2013 Never Give in Tour.

Will Hoge is a new name to most mainstream country fans, but the singer-songwriter has been at it as long as any star on the radio. There's gritty experience in his voice as he patiently gets through his new song 'Strong.' One quickly finds himself remembering a father, grandfather or uncle who spoke through his actions.
