GRAMMY-nominated artist Will Hoge returns with Sweet Misery, his 15th studio album, releasing August 22. Known for blending heartfelt storytelling with gritty rock roots, Hoge describes the new record as “a louder, hooky, rock-n-roll band record”—built for driving fast with the windows down. After re-recording past albums, he felt inspired to start fresh, enlisting a trusted crew to elevate his bold, melodic vision. With big choruses and raw honesty, Sweet Misery captures the spirit of classic albums—best heard loud, from start to finish. Over his career, Hoge has scored No. 1 hits, earned Grammy nominations, and maintained artistic independence. A trailblazer in Americana before it had a name, he continues to carve his own path—eschewing shortcuts for the scenic route, always driven by passion, integrity, and the power of a great song.
