JOSH HOYER & SOUL COLOSSAL — Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal create a combination of soul, funk and R&B that’s, in a word, electric.

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.
