Summer in Space

Things have been a little slow lately in Hoboe village, but that will change eventually. Right now Zen Ben has some fancy idea that he's going to be an astronaut or something like that, and is going away for a NASA research study where he will have no communication with the outside world. Rather mysterious. The membership lineup is in fluctuation as bassist Ben Holt has had to return to his hometown for personal matters, and Chris Bell has recently been inducted into the Hoboe Hall of Shame, well, that is, after he plays a gig with the clowns.

The finalized version of the debut CD that many you have been waiting so long for, has finally come back from Gateway Mastering Studios by the ears and hands of the masterful Adam Ayan, and as soon as Zen Ben gets back from space, expect some movement on that...

In the meantime, we're lining up some shows for you by late fall and trust us, Hoboe is going to be so anxious to hit the stage again! In the meantime, we'll be auditioning a bass player for the band in the immediate future, and once we get resettled with our lineup, watch out. The Hoboe train will soon be back on the tracks.

In the meantime, look up at the stars and wave to Zen Ben (spacey guitar sounds by Thom Metz in the background)....

Welcome to the Hoboe Blog Log!

The year is 2010 and we are kicking off the Hoboe blog. We can't wait to release our CD to y'all and to play a bunch more shows for you.

We are, after all, a premier rock oboe band, and who to better spread the gospel of loud amplified electric rock oboe than yours truly. We hope you find as much joy in our music as we do creating it for you.

We're just trying to keep the magic alive in this world and we believe we are helping to forge a new 21st century rock sound.

Thank you for finding us!
