   About Erick Hovey

Erick Hovey released two more CD’s in 2009, ”Recycled Souls”, and “Blues Farm”. To Erick, the blues is the best genre to express himself in, but isn’t limiting to his fertile imagination in arranging and peppering his music with seasonings of jazz, funk, old power trio rock, and newer folk fusion styles. everything blends together. Erick’s music takes the myriad of blues styles, THEN, fuses lyrical content that has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock cliches’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual – everything for the purist and the novice as well. Erick Hovey is a songwriter, guitarist, singer, and fifth-generation farmer from Fort Dodge, Iowa. His albums What You Blue About and Prairie Dance Music have received critical acclaim for his unique, honest voice, cool rocking blues, and introspective grooves. His new releases for 2009 are Recycled Souls and Blues Farm. What You Blue About? was a Catfish Choice of Blue's Access magazine. According to Delta Snake Daily Blues, "Erick Hovey is a hidden blues gem in the farmland of the Midwest." La Hora Del Blues of Barcelona, Spain, writes that Erick "skillfully mixes and develops his own blues style." And Omaha’s Reader says his music has “genuine heart and engaging personality” Erick learned the blues scale when he was ten years old and began performing in local taverns when he was fourteen. He still enjoys playing in small-town bars but has performed in venues and festivals throughout the Midwest.

So I had never heard of you until tonight.  I was listening to Iowa Public Radio on my drive home from work, and lo and behold Bob Door played your song, "Here Again".  I loved it, so I tried to song ID it with my phone, which didn't come up with anything.  Then tried doing a web search without much luck.  Then realized that Iowa Public Radio probably had their playlists online, and fortunately they did!  Therefore, I found you and your music, thanks to the correct spelling of Erick that they had, and which I was not searching for correctly during my web search.  Thank you for your music, and thank you to Iowa Public Radio for always supporting local talent!  :)

Erick like the new songs! Soda Pop Girl is a catchy little tune! Being married to a musician I know how that soda pop thing goes! Heard they are taking your maple syrup pancake sanwiches off the shelf at Kum and Go.
Some kind of a recall on them, they cause musicians to write strange songs! lol
