Omaha native, Brad Hoshaw, is considered one of the Midwest’s finest singer/songwriters. As a one man show, or with his band The Seven Deadlies, his heartfelt brand of Americana/Folk-Rock has been compared to My Morning Jacket, James Taylor and Ryan Adams. Dolly Parton once expressed her enjoyment of his music, exclaiming “He can sing me to sleep anytime!” Recently, Brad Hoshaw finished recording his new full length studio album. The new album will feature his band The Seven Deadlies and showcase all new songs including “New Tattoo” and “Delta King” which have already become fan favorites at his live shows. This past October, Brad Hoshaw successfully ran a Kickstarter campaign to raise over $7,500 to help with mixing, mastering and manufacturing costs. The album is scheduled for release on February 21, 2014. The Seven Deadlies were formed in 2008 with the purpose of playing one show only. The audience response was so strong that they were compelled to keep performing. Their self-titled 2009 album won “Album of the Year” at the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards. The current Seven Deadlies’ lineup includes Brad Hoshaw on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Matt Whipkey on lead guitar, Vern Fergesen on bass and J. Scott Gaeta on drums. Frank Black (The Pixies) describes their music as “Seductive” and David Dondero claims Hoshaw is “the only songwriter that can make me cry.” With a new album under their belt The Seven Deadlies are poised for another big year.
