With a style that is at once lyrical and adventurous, he effortlessly blends tradition with innovation, creating music that is both accessible and challenging. In addition to his work as a performer, Hobgood is also an accomplished composer and arranger. His original compositions range from delicate ballads to driving grooves, showcasing his formidable skills as a storyteller and a creator. But perhaps what truly sets Laurence Hobgood apart is his infectious enthusiasm for music. Whether he’s performing on stage or sharing his knowledge with students, his passion is palpable, and it’s this joyous spirit that makes his music so irresistible. In a world of musical mediocrity, Laurence Hobgood is a shining beacon of excellence. So do yourself a favour and check out his latest album – you won’t be disappointed.
