In life, and on his brilliant new album, Draw the Curtains, Will Hoge follows in the footsteps of musical archetypes like Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Hank Williams, Van Morrison, Patty Griffin, Neil Young and Bob Dylan. These artists inspire him not just for their work, but for their approach to their art. They exist outside the traditional economic constraints of "success" and "failure," and do their own thing on their own time. "They would all be playing music whether there was money in it or not," says Hoge. "All of them would be homeless rather than do something else. In my mind, you're either a musician or you're not."
