Roger Hoover (born December 7, 1978) is a folk singer, songwriter and guitarist from Akron, Ohio. He has been backed by the Whiskeyhounds, the Magpies and the Hurt. == Career == Roger Hoover first gained prominence in the early 2000s as the songwriter, singer, and guitarist of the Whiskeyhounds. His first collection of songs, ''Golden Gloves'' was released in 2001 on Hayfever Records. ''Panic Blues'' was picked up in 2003 by Columbus, Ohio based Bandaloop Records. Upon release from Bandaloop Records in 2005 drummer Dave McKean (GC5) and bassist Doug McKean (GC5) were added and began recording a follow up to Panic Blues. Doug McKean was replaced by Chris Yohn in January 2006. ''Jukebox Manifesto'' (self-released) was released in 2006. Engineered and produced by Ryan Foltz (Dropkick Murphys) Jukebox Manifesto captures Roger Hoover with his live band, the Whiskeyhounds, in usual raucous form. Featuring lap steel (Freddy Hill), accordion/keyboards (Justin Gorski), and violin (Chris Yohn), Jukebox Manifesto received critical acclaim. According to Arkansas Times, Jukebox Manifesto was "one of the finest roots records since Ryan Adams' “Heartbreaker” or Gillian Welch's “Time: The Revelator.” Roger Hoover then released Eastern Standard Time in 2009, Strangers, a collection of earlier recorded material, both produced and engineered again by Ryan Foltz. Last Chance Records released Live at the White Water Tavern (2011) featuring Hoover backed by the Magpies. Hoover assembled a backing band known as 'The Hurt' (Kevin Walters- Bass, BJ Barbieri - Drums, Daniel Holmes - Guitar) and Hoover released "''Lay My Rituals Down''," the much anticipated follow-up to Eastern Standard Time in 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roger Hoover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
