LIVE! in NWA | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

JOSH HOYER & SOUL COLOSSAL — Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal create a combination of soul, funk and R&B that’s, in a word, electric. Best displayed in their high-energy live show, the blend of Hoyer’s honest lyrics and his soulful (sometimes in-your-face) vocals merge with his top-notch band to create an undeniable chemistry. Known for their ambitious tour schedules, the band’s fevered pace has continued this year with Hoyer appearing as a contestant on season 12 of NBC’s “The Voice,” a European tour, a live album release, numerous festival appearances and a new EP in the works. The band returns to Chelsea’s Corner Cafe in Eureka Springs Nov. 25. joshhoyer.com.
