In their northeast tour in 2009, Hoboe had an unlikely gig at a small folk coffee house on the New Jersey side of Philadelphia.
Bob Bergeron (bass), Jon Bangs (drums), Thom Metz (guitar), Zen Ben (oboe).
We were so young and full of bubbly enthusiasm, with promise ahead of us and a night ready to be rocked at @GenosRockClub.

Hoboe's Bob Bergeron and Zen Ben performing at a Halloween party in 2008 at Sean Slaughter's studio. Behind Bob is Jon Bangs, the first drummer to join Hoboe as a constant and permanent member. This was a super fun gig!
The Aluminum Group just released a song with some beautiful oboe and English Horn recorded by Deb Koczian Stevenson. Very fine use of #dubreeds in modern music!

Yesterday 50 years ago, this Bobby Vinton song featuring solo English horn debuted on Billboard Top 100, eventually peaked at 19 on August 19, 1972. We don't know who played Horn. Let us know if you have the scoop on who deserves the recording credit...

This song was recorded this month back in 1974 and features a lovely oboe solo. We wonder: Did the oboe come with the orchestra or did @MoodyBluesToday bud Ray Thomas come in and lay down a track?

One of the most loved tunes on our debut album, Travel By 7 Planes, Bob Bergeron's "Nowhere Boat" also features drummer Jon Bangs on trumpet.

May, 2009. After a spring tour in northeast U.S., Hoboe returned home to Maine to play for their hometown homies at their usual stomping ground, @GenosRockClub .
Gordon Waller of Peter & Gordon would have turned 77 today. This song they recorded, which has oboe (!), peaked at 16 on the Hot Billboard charts in 1964. Happy heavenly birthday Gordon!

Released this month in 1972, this song features Roxy Music oboist/saxophonist Andy Mackay doing really cool and early innovative synthetized woodwind effects, mostly on saxophone, but we R pretty sure we can hear oboe being phased or flanged in there, too.

Roy Wood played oboe on this last album by The Move, before they renamed themselves Electric Light Orchestra #ELO. "A Message from the Country" was released this month in 1971. Enjoy Roy's rocking oboe at the end. @JeffLynnesELO#RoyWood#rockoboe

Zen Ben and Thom Metz in 2008, performing at what is Thom's first performance with Hoboe. Little did we know then what awesome rock-ness and creativity Thom would bring to the band over the next four years.
