New EP - 'The End of the Night'

Josh Hoyer

Hello Bman! On Friday, January 26th, international recording and touring artist Josh Hoyer (Silver Street Records) released 'The End of the Night', a three song EP and the first new music from Hoyer since his 2017 appearance on NBC's The Voice.

'The End of the Night' is the result of a writing collaboration between Hoyer, veteran Nashville songwriter Jay Knowles (Harry Connick Jr, Blake Shelton), and producer Jon Coleman, Trace Adkins' band leader and producer. The writing sessions produced three songs; the grooving Soul number “The End of The Night”, Country-Rock anthem “Big Love”, and Soul-Pop tune “Rosario”.

In addition to Hoyer’s powerful vocals, featured on the EP are some of Nashville’s most in-demand session musicians, including Kenny Greenberg (guitars), Luis Espaillat (bass), Greg Morrow (drums), Jon Coleman (piano and B3), Doug Moffet (saxophone), Quentin Ware (trumpet), and Marion Grace (background vocals).

'The End of the Night' is Hoyer's first release since Josh's appearance on Season 12 of NBC's The Voice earlier this year. Viewers around the country took note of the soulful vocals emanating from the man that Adam Levine called a "badass," and Rolling Stone described as an artist who "sang with fire and exuded a natural joy." Hoyer's appearances on The Voice received over 2 million views on YouTube.

The new EP is a prelude to Hoyer's next full-length studio album to be recorded this spring and released in Europe in August on Silver Street Records. The release will be followed by a 6-week European tour this fall, and a US release in early 2019.
