Hey yall! Just checking in to say what’s up and tell you again how much fun I’m having on this tour! The shows have been incredible!!! I am so thankful to Marc for allowing me all this time on tour with him and the boys. We are in Las Vegas tonight to celebrate Marc’s birthday! Never know what may happen with all us idiots. :) It’s been a super pleasure to be joined by Jessie Baylin and her band. Great people, great music, great hang! Looking forward to the rest of the month. Got to stay in Denver an extra night and hang with my pal Ryan Tedder. We’ve been friends for a long time and I am so happy for all the success he is having now! He deserves it, and oh yeah I made him pay for drinks! haha. We hopefully will be working together on some new things in the near future. Looking super forward to the California shows this week! Oh and before I run, I’m sorry for having to miss the Salt Lake show last night. When we woke up yesterday morning there was like 3 feet of snow on the ground and we were stuck! I will be back in April so hopefully I’ll see you then… Last but not least, new tourdates are being added now so check em out, and more will be coming soon… :)

Josh Hoge In Love With Matt Nathanson’s ‘Some Mad Hope’ LP

Josh Hoge updated fans on his blog at MySpace on Tuesday (December 16), an off day between tour dates at home in Nashville, talking about some of his shows. He also weighed in positively on fellow singer songwriter Matt Nathanson. Hoge tells readers:

I had a chance a few weeks ago to play a one off show with Matt Nathanson, and all I have to say (not that he needs any help from me) is DAMN! I met Matt years ago, and we re-met if you will when I was making my album because the same guy produced both our records. I’m in LOVE with his album, and I cant tell you how much I respect him. He is one of (and maybe THE) nicest guys around. He really cares about his fans, and is no bullsh**. He deserves all the success he is having right now. It took this biz 15 years almost to realize that he is this good? wow…

Josh Hoge Heads Back On The Road

Josh Hoge checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Wednesday (December 3). The Nashville singer songwriter tells readers:

Hey there, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! It was nice for us all to get home and see our families, etc. Plus the fact that there was the most wicked stomach virus being passed around on the November leg of the tour we all wanted to get away from each other. It hit like 8 people on the tour. Never got me, but I only made out with Marc and crew a few times. haha. Actually I would like to take this time to thank the man who always kills germs for me when I'm on tour... MR. JACK DANIELS! :)

We are headed to Orlando today. Thanks to all the new faces that I met on the November run! And of course thanks to the familiar faces who always support! It was great getting to play shows with Marc and The Gabe Dixon Band. Looking forward to the next 2 and a half months with Marc and the boys, and also bands like The Alternate Routes, Sons of William, and Jessie Baylin.

Josh Hoge Heads Out On Tour

Josh Hoge checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Monday (November 3) as the singer songwriter prepares to tour this week, joined by his 'American Idol' pal Chris Richardson on the first night and Marc Broussard for a series of gigs later. The Nashville singer songwriter tells readers:

Hey all, hope youre well. I'm sitting here getting everything ready to head out on the road tomorrow. I've been home for a few weeks, and now its time to get busy again. I'm starting with a show Wednesday night in Richmond VA with my pal Chris Richardson. We've done this show before and it's always a blast and I love Richmond! If you haven't heard Chris, he is very talented so check him out. You may know his name from 'American Idol' 2 seasons ago, but trust me he's far more talented than 'American Idol'! Come out and see us if you're near...

Josh Hoge Geared Up For November Tour

Josh Hoge updated fans on his blog at MySpace on Friday (October 10). The Nashville based singer songwriter tells readers:

I'm starting to get geared up for this tour in November with Marc Broussard and Gabe Dixon. I couldn't be more stoked! This is seriously gonna be a great night of music. And I'll say what I've said before, GET TIX EARLY CAUSE THESE SHOWS COULD SELL OUT FAST! Contact the venues websites for more info if you need. Also, make sure you and all your friends buy my album, Marcs, and Gabes so you can sing along to all 3 all night! My guitar player "Danger" is meeting up with me in a few weeks and he'll be ready to roll, and this time we will also have a new addition with us. Not sure what it will be just yet but we will be joined by either a bass player or a percussionist of sorts if you will. Stay tuned...

Josh Hoge Excited About ‘Everything She Was’ Release

Josh Hoge updated fans on his blog at MySpace on Tuesday (September 9), which also happens to be the day his debut album 'Everything She Was' came out on Blackledge Music. The Nashville singer songwriter tells readers:

Well 3 years later I finally can say "MY DEBUT ALBUM IS OUT"!!! I'm really excited! I'm so happy to have this be my 1st album. I co-wrote songs on here with Ryan Tedder, Ne-Yo, Dave Barnes, and plenty others just to name a few GREAT ONES! I also got to record a duet with Marc Broussard! There are many other cool things about this record, but those are just some highlights for me!

Now I'm not a huge superstar by any means (and especially by industry standards right yet) so the album may not be as easy to find as say a Beyonce album. haha. Just so you know you can (and should check 1st for it at some of these following locations)...ITUNES, BEST BUY, BORDERS, BARNES AND NOBLES, AMAZON.COM to name a few to maybe make it easier for now! :)

Josh Hoge’s Brother Will Recovering From Motorcycle Accident

Josh Hoge checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Saturday night (August 23) after earlier telling fans that his brother Will was involved in a really bad motorcycle accident on Wednesday night and was in critical condition. The Nashville singer songwriter told readers:

Now that I can officially step back and take a deep breath, I wanted to stop by and say THANKS for all your well wishes, thoughts, and prayers for myself, my family, and mostly my brother! He's is doing ok. I just came from seeing him again, and he finally is starting to become "Will" to me. He's sore, and beaten up and broken badly, but he's alive! He's strong... real strong! The next 6 months are gonna be long, and tough, but they are gonna get to happen and that's all that matters! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew (and that is the sound of my exhaling).

I will still keep you posted with progress, but just know we're all gonna be ok. ;)

I for once am going to sleep right after I hit the "post" button!!!

Love, JHoge

Josh Hoge Is A Hotel Hermit On The Road

Josh Hoge checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Saturday (August 16) with a tour update. The Nashville singer songwriter tells fans:

Yo! It's really good to be back on the road playing shows for folks. Danger and I are actually on a day off outside of Boston today. If you have ever wondered what I do with my days off when I get them, the answer is usually NOTHING! Haha I literally stay in my boxer briefs the whole time and watch sports. I live on room service. I have been trying to keep up with the Olympics. Michael Phelps and Dara Torres make me want to work out, then I realize I'd have to get dressed and leave my room and that changes my mind. haha!!!

We've had some good fun already since hitting the road a week or so ago. Got to stop in Durham NC a few days back and spend the night hanging out with my big brother Will and his crew. I used to see Will a lot, but since starting to tour myself 3 years ago, we don't see each other much so it's nice when we can cross paths on the road! Me and Danger met up with Will and gang and had a little sportsbar fun. The true fun was later in the night watching Wills drummer Siggi get so smashed he couldn't speak English. Long story, but there is video and I need to post it soon!
