Born in late 2007 through a mutual dissatisfaction of the guitar driven swill swamping the 21st Century Blues scene, Hokie Joint takes 5 pieces of youth and experience to create a ground breaking, song-driven twist on the genre.
In just over 3 years together through performing their own unique brand of dirty, roots based groove music, Hokie Joint have reminded the blues world via their dramatic and raw live shows, that the music they hold so dear is about more than just a guitarist’s dexterity!
Since releasing their début album ‘The Way It Goes…Sometimes’ through Amsterdam based label Cool buzz in 2008, Hokie Joint have had the honour of sharing the bill alongside legendary artists including Steve Winwood, Booker T and the late great Solomon Burke, coupled with opportunity to grace some of the most prestigious stages on the UK & European circuit. Including two wildly received main stage performances at the BRBF 2009 (Peer, Belgium) and Maryport Blues Festival 2010 (UK), where the band was seen by some as the show stoppers at each festival.
2011 has seen much anticipation from fans, promoters and critics alike, as the band are set to release their 2nd studio album; ‘The Music Starts To Play’ which draws influences from the depths of Danube and the darkness of the Delta.
2011 will also see this eclectic British 5 piece embark on their busiest year of touring to date, playing alongside the likes of ZZ Top, Jamie Cullum and Moby, spreading a sound as fresh and vibrant today as the pioneers of the ‘60’s revival were before them!
