THE
PERFECT CONSPIRACY: Ted
Hoagland inspired SOhO Sunday with his CD release party for the new The
Hoagland Conspiracy
album. The performance showcased his talents as both an
acoustic troubadour and as a rocking band leader. He opened the show
with an
entertaining solo set that revealed a solid vocal resemblance to a
young Bob
Dylan. Following his solo set, Hoagland came out with his band and they
jammed
on songs from the new album. The band rocked through a mix of blues,
funk, and
country tunes as Hoagland's gifted storytelling and strong stage
presence
continued to shine.

"Hoagland, another guitar/harp-playing singer/songwriter, was amazing, and while his grooves had the crowd tapping its toes, his lyrics had everyone talking."
