From busking in the streets to selling out shows all over the world, Hobo Johnson returns with brand new music and a brand new tour.
Today, Sacramento’s very own spoken word lyricist Hobo Johnson returns after a two year hiatus with two brand new singles ‘Dads Bed’ and ‘Metaverse’, which although tackle polar opposite themes, both resonate with the unique, eclectic sound that has become associated with Hobo Johnson over the years.
‘Dads Bed’ is a song built on the extremely powerful emotion of grief, as Hobo Johnson depicts the pain he and his family have felt since his father’s passing. The strain in his voice and this struggling gasps for air as he sings makes this a deeply raw and genuine account of his loss.
Although Hobo Johnson claims not to be a rapper, on his viral, breakout song ‘Peach Scone’, which amassed millions of views and attention online, like a rapper he is narrative driven, and employs his own style of spoken word poetry to communicate his thoughts in a stream of consciousness kind of way. This in turn gives his music an authentic and genuine edge, due to the conversational style he employs in his delivery.
‘Metaverse’ unsurprisingly speaks on the extremities of the digital age we live in and in a tongue in cheek manner plays on the idea of the metaverse and what twisted possibilities the future holds.
With Hobo Johnson being back releasing new music, he is entering the next phase in his career, with lots of exciting things on the horizon. This summer, Hobo Johnson and The Lovemakers will be embarking on their Headline US Drinks Tour this June- Tickets can be purchased online here.
