Lucas Hoge

A contemporary country artist with a pop-influenced sound and a down-home attitude, Lucas Hoge writes and sings about the stuff of small town life -- love, family, good times, faith, and patriotism -- with a voice whose Southern twang belies his Nebraska heritage. Early albums like 2006's Dirt and 2012's Lucas Hoge were the work of a budding artist whose roots were in rock & roll as much as Nashville sounds. 2017's Dirty South was where his formula came together, singing material that was unafraid to be sentimental, matched with contemporary country arrangements. Hoge's warmth and relatable personality also served him well on projects like the 2021 gospel album Sunday Sessions and the Christmas offering 12.25. Lucas Hoge was born in Hubbell, Nebraska, a small town with a population under 50. Hoge's first musical influences came from his family; his parents and siblings sang in the choir at church, and Mom and Dad also led a worship band. Lucas was brought into the group to play drums, and his pastor was impressed with his talent and urged him to pursue his passion for music. When he was 17, Hoge moved from drums to guitar, and he began soaking up the influences of his favorite artists, including Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, and Paul Overstreet. While attending college, Hoge continued to hone his skills as a guitarist and songwriter, and after graduating, he found himself running a construction company while also playing in three bands at once -- a Christian rock group called Extreme Devotion, a Southern rock band known as Southern Cross, and a modern country outfit dubbed Borderline. After several years of juggling bands and careers, music won out for Hoge and he moved to Nashville to take a shot at the big time, not before staging a going-away concert that netted him a $2,500 nest egg from friends and fans. Once settled in the Music City, Hoge worked day jobs while playing club dates at night, and soon his hard work bore fruit. In 2002, he released an album called In My Dreams, and the same year, one of his songs, "If I Only Could," was featured on the TV show Smallville. His second LP, Dirt, was issued in 2006, and the following year he landed a gig writing music for a cable television series, The Erotic Traveler. In 2010, Hoge scored and appeared on a series for Animal Planet, Last Chance Highway, a reality show about rescuing animals and finding them new homes. And his song "Give a Damn" became the theme for another series, Tom's Wild Life. He also began touring abroad, entertaining American military troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Kosovo, and elsewhere. He appeared at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium for the first time in 2011, where he opened the show for the equally legendary George Jones. He would soon be sharing stages with other major country stars including Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Martina McBride, and Craig Morgan. In 2012, he released his third album, a self-titled effort that included "How Was I to Know," a song he'd adapted from a poem written by a woman dying from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The song gained significant attention from Christian music fans and soon became a favorite among Hoge's followers. In 2015, he enjoyed regional success with the single "Flip Flops," a playful tune about having fun at the beach, and in 2016 he followed it up with the upbeat love song "Boom Boom." These tracks boosted Hoge's profile, and in 2016 he landed a deal with Rebel Engine Entertainment. Dirty South, his first album for the label, appeared in July 2017, and it was a major success, topping the Country Album Sales Charts in its first week. Later in 2017, Hoge released his first holiday album, Christmas Is Here, which featured both classic yuletide numbers and Hoge originals. A steady stream of single tracks over the next several years, including "Power of Garth," "Workin' On Me," "This Old Flame," "Wishin' I Was Fishin'," "Get Lost," and "Stay in Touch," as Hoge continued to expand his audience on radio and streaming services. In 2021, Hoge added "television host" to his résumé when the Sportsman Channel debuted the show Hoge Wild, in which he travels around the world to indulge his passion for outdoor life, especially hunting, fishing, and diving, as well as playing music. The show's first season was successful enough that the Sportsman Channel renewed it for another set of episodes for 2022. Hoge still made sure he had time in his schedule for music, and delivered two albums in 2021: Sunday Sessions, a collection of classic spirituals, and a second Christmas collection, 12.25.
