Midwest Soul Band at Moe's Original Bar B Que

Josh Hoyer and The Shadowboxers bring an authentic soul, funk and R&B sound with a contemporary groove that is best experienced through their high-energy live performance. Hoyer?s authentic lyrics, his soulful (sometimes in-your-face) vocals and a top-notch band, including a blazing horn section, definitely make this group worth a listen. Tracks from the band?s second album, Living by the Minute, can be accessed at http://JoshHoyerandTheShadowboxers.com/music/ Hoyer formed The Shadowboxers in 2012 in famed blues town Lincoln, Nebraska, where he had already been in high musical demand for more than a decade. The six-piece soul band includes some of the area?s most revered and accomplished musicians, and their talents are prominently displayed through a tight sound and professional solos. The electricity that comes from a JHATS jam will make your arm hair stand on end. The Shadowboxers have shared a stage with or opened for acts like Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, Monophonics, Sidewalk Chalk, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and The Tedeschi Trucks Band, just to name a few. Hoyer has also played/toured with Galactic, Magic Slim, E.C. Scott, The Soul of John Black and many more. ?It?s not old-school Memphis, Detroit or Chicago, but modern soul blues for modern times. Hoyer delivers on all counts: Fresh tunes, solid rhythms and a message worthy of being heard.? --Marty Gunther, Blues Blast Magazine
