Will Hoge was decent, but Locksley should have been the headliner. These guys are better than most of the crap on the radio today, and I don"t understand why more people don"t know who they are yet! This was my 3rd time seeing them and the 1st time my wife has seen them and she now knows what the fuss is all about.

Favorite moment: Seeing the joy on Will's face when the audience sings along. @
Opening act(s): Locksley - High, high energy from start to finish. Crowd was in to it from start to finish. Outstanding interaction along the front line with ridiculous lead guitar work backed by a drummer who absolutely shredded it. @

I've been a Hoge fan for ten years and I keep waiting for the "rest" of the planet to open their ears. Will has been writing and performing music that will at times warm your heart to its depth (Baby Girl) or rip it right out of your chest (Goodnight/Goodbye & When I Get My Wings). You hear talk about paying your dues; well, how's literally putting your whole body on the line for your craft. I ramble; bottom line:If you're looking for honest, thoughtful and thought-provoking lyrics backed by performances that always light up whatever room he plays, buy a ticket to see him ply his craft. You'll join his legion of fans.

I went for Locksley, and they were incredible! Their energy was off the map they rocked it hard. We actually thought they'd hurt themselves the way they were bouncing around. Was not familiar with Hoge, but it was obvious his fans loved him and they had a great sound.

Will strolled onto the stage, began playing and did not stop for 2 solid hours!! He had the audience in the palm of his hand. He has the voice, plays some awesome guitar, piano and harmonica, is totally comfortable with his audience...AND can chew gum while both singing and playing Harmonica. There are not many serious young rock stars out there right now....but here is one for you!! I'm not just a kid, I'm a 58 year old "young" woman who loves her music and believe me ....this guy is worth the ticket. He will be moving up in the music world and completely worth the ticket prize. You will get entertainment, great lrics and energy galore. HE'S GOT IT!!!!!!!

This was the 3rd time that I have seen Will Hoge and his band. They sound better everytime I go! It was great to see him in a smaller venue like 7th St. Entry! Will puts on one of the best live performances I have ever seen, and his vocals are amazing! I recommend seeing him whenever he is in your area.

I have seen Will & crew several times live and they have never let me down. I find it truly unbelievable that he has flown under the popular music radar for this long. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I very much enjoy the small shows in the intimate venues. But c'mon...Will is far too talented to keep playing the proverbial hole-in-the-wall joints. If you have never heard his music, go pick up an album. If you have never seen him live, buy a ticket. He will not let you down!

I am amazed that this guy is still flying under the radar. This has to be one of the top 3 Will Hoge shows I have had the pleasure of attending, and I've been to many! His recipe is a whole lotta Rock & Roll with a hint of Country and Soul and a dash of that southern charm ...mmmmmhmmm, makes for a mighty fine good time. The band was right on! LOVE these guys!

His preformance was absolutely amazing. He has to ability to radiate passion and brilliance during his shows. The music even seems so much better live then on the cds and I didn't know that could be possible. His show was a whole new experience that I have never had at a concert before and I can't wait for him to come back!

Mr Hoge must be feeling a whole lot better since his scooter accident last year. Although he started out the show sitting down and did a few songs that way, it was in no way the layout for the rest of the evening. Songs from his new disc, "The Wreckage" out about a month now, were intertwined with many from previous releases. The crowd sang along to every single song he played-all night long.
When he finished his set, he was brought back to the stage with the crowd chanting, "Ten more songs!" to which he responded in kind with a ROUSING 55 minute "encore." Yours truly who drove five hours one way to attend got everything and more for her first Hoge show.
I believe the rest of the Shank Hall attendees that night would agree.

How more people are not aware of this incredible talent is beyond me. This man and his equally talented band spilled out an 11 song encore and the crowd just soaked up every single note.

Awesome show as usual, have seen him many times. Brought a couple of new people with and they are now fans!! Also played one of my favorites, which I've only heard once live, "Not That Cool" so thanks Will for a great show. Can't wait for another Chicago visit, so probably try to make the Indiana show in Nov.

I've seen upwards of 70 Will Hoge shows and he never lets the audience down. The Double Door show in Oct 23, 2009, was no different and both opening acts were fantastic as well. My only complaint is that, and this is the case everywhere, not just this show or venue, the majority of the audience always disrespectfully talks through the songs they need to be quiet for. We really need a venue in this city that designates itself as a "listening room" and does not tolerate a disrespectful audience.
