3/24/16-- We are excited to announce that Hoodoo Witch will enter into the studio to begin production on our third album at the end of May. We'll be recording, once again, at Audio Dallas in Garland, TX with engineer Paul Osborn and releasing the album on the Underworld label. This album will be slightly different from the two previous in that it will represent the blues and soul vibes of the band more so than past efforts, which have been heavy on the rock. Make no mistake, we'll still be rocking out and it will be the same guitar-bass-drum format that you're used to but for this particular album we're going for a more raw sound and will be featuring lots of jump blues and Memphis-influenced soul/r&b. We will be recording 15 tunes, 13 of those being original numbers, and will decide which ones will make it onto the album after we've had a chance to hear how they sound. Keep checking here for updates on release dates, album title, song list, etc. Until then, cheers!!
1/18/16-- Happy New Year to all of you! 2016 has some great things ahead for the band. We will be playing some dates in Georgia and Tennessee in January, a 3-week tour of Canada and the midwestern US in April, a new batch of t-shirts with new design will be released very soon, and we will begin production on our third studio album, which should see a late 2016 release in the USA and Europe. Keep checking back for more developments and be sure and see the band when they're in your area. Thank you for all of your support. Cheers!
