Langhorne Slim.
October 2, 2009A performer who's always managed to dodge easy trends, Will Hoge plays sharp, smart, passionate rock 'n' roll that seems to exist out of time. The Nashville singer-songwriter invests his songs, as heard on his new album Wreckage, with a working-class feel and universal appeal. Click the link above to hear Hoge perform live in concert from WXPN and World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, along with another down-to-earth rocker, Langhorne Slim.
Born Sean Scolnick, Langhorne Slim fuses together folk music, country and blues, and has established himself as a hard-touring workhorse. Raised in Philly and based in Brooklyn, he's built his career up from the open-mic circuit to festival stages thanks to hard work, strong songwriting and the aid of a crack backing band, The War Eagles. His new album, which benefits from the addition of strings and pianos, is titled Be Set Free.
Based in Philadelphia, WXPN takes listeners on a journey of music discovery through new and heritage rock, blues, roots, and folk artists. WXPN also produces NPR's World Cafe.
