"I Have Love, I Have You," my latest single debuted on Nooga  a few weeks back. Since then,Creative Spotlights gave the song a glowing review, writing mega-flattering things such as: "With heart melting lyrics about love above all else and Hobler’s velveteen vocals, this song could be the next hit love song" (oh please, say more) and "To me, the song is everything that a girl wants to hear from their significant other." IHLIHY was also reviewed in Songwriting Magazine which described it as a "summery slice of folk-pop delivered in Hobler's crystal clear vocal." Lastly, IHLIHY also was cited as a great soundtrack to making a Chips Ahoy Icebox cake over at I Sing In the Kitchen. The song is now available on iTunes, Bandcamp, Spotify, and various other internetty places. What are you waiting for? Go check it out there or listen to it here on this site! 

My latest song "Near You" premiered today on The Bluegrass Situation. "Near You" is an incredibly personal song I wrote for my wife, Lauren, one New Year's Day not long after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Throughout that difficult time - from Lauren's mother's diagnosis to the end of her chemo and eventual remission - I found myself aching to say the right thing to Lauren, as if some magical combination of words would suddenly make everything better. I discovered that simply spending time with her and our family was the best and most comforting thing I could do. Being there mattered more than whatever I could say. 

 

Please do check it out and tell me what you think. The song will be on iTunes, Bandcamp, and on my website in a few days but for now check it out on The Bluegrass Situation.

Super pumped to be invited to the next Songwriter Deathmatch show. Songwriter Deathmatch ("Not to be missed" - South Slope News) is a fun, intimate night of singer-songwriters playing five songs each, hosted by Dave Keener. Battling me onstage will be Dave Keener, Chris Q. Murphy, andKaren Dahlstrom. MAY THE MOST POWERFUL & LEAST ETHICAL SONGWRITER WIN!!

Songmeanings interviewd me, discussing creativity, influences, and my love of old school songwriting.

Did a Daytrotter session with my brother Kieran Hobler & Michelle Amador and that is now up HERE. Lookee, they made this rad cartoon of me:
