Mile High Blues Society Presents…
JOSH HOYER & SOUL COLOSSAL
Info & Tix: https://nissis.com/events/joshhoyer/
Night after night at their live shows, Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal leave it all on the table, bringing crowds palpably authentic music. This is a real working band; music for the people, by the people. You hear the veracity in Hoyer’s voice. You hear the strife of a guitar amp being pushed to its limits. You hear keyboards hammering notes home while emboldened horns soar over the top of a rhythm section akin to a freight train. The raucous Funk and real-deal Soul emanating from the stage dutifully pays homage to the past Soul/Classic R&B giants while simultaneously charging forward, piloting themselves into the modern era. This IS soul music.
Hoyer formed Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal in 2012 in famed blues town Lincoln, Nebraska. The award-winning six-piece band includes some of the area’s most revered and accomplished musicians. Joining Hoyer (keyboards/vocals) is Myles Jasnowski (guitar), Mike Keeling (bass), James Cuato (saxophone) Blake DeForest (trumpet), and Matt Arbeiter (drums). Inspired by the sounds of Stax, Motown, Muscle Shoals, New Orleans and San Francisco, the band continuously crosses musical boundaries both in style and era, and joins forces each show with a common goal – to have the crowd dancing so much they forget even their smallest troubles.
In January of 2025, the band won the 30th Annual International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. The IBC judges highlighted strong vocals, superb songwriting and the bands highly professional, cohesive and soulful delivery of each song as the standout features that led to their win from over 100 bands from around the world.
The band has toured extensively in Europe and is a favorite in Spain. They have been a Guest Artist featured on Virgin Voyages in the Caribbean and played hundreds of shows across 39 states and 9 countries over the last 10 years. Releasing 6 albums to local, national and eventual international acclaim, their latest record, “Green Light,” won Best Self Produced Album of 2022 by the International Blues Foundation. “Hustler” a single off their 5th album, “Natural Born Hustler” has been featured in an international advertising campaign for Michelob Ultra and on Apple TV’s Slow Horses. Josh Hoyer was a contestant on NBC’s The Voice in 2017.
