Esteemed Nashville songwriter Will Hoge debuts in the Crystal Bay Casino’s Red Room on Friday, Nov. 17.
Hoge last appeared in the area in 2010 when he opened an arena show for Sugarland at Lake Tahoe’s South Shore.
“Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now,” sings Will Hoge on “Growing Up Around Here,” the opening track off of his 10th studio album, “Small Town Dreams.” “I’m kinda proud of growing up around here.”
It’s been a whole lot of miles, indeed: miles on the road, driving the bus himself from venue to venue since the nineties; miles to and from Nashville writing rooms, where he’s spent hours penning songs – some for him, some for others; miles exploring lands outside of his native Franklin, Tennessee, chasing the spirits of his musical heroes. Roads meet, roads split, roads led to home.
