In the midst of an eleven show run from Colorado to Ohio in the spring of 2018, Hood Smoke performed in their hometown of Chicago at Sleeping Village. Opening with a cover of a Randy Newman song, the band continued its performance with a list of originals bursting with an energy only found outside the studio.
Influenced by improvised music, and detailed songwriting respectively, Hood Smoke––Bryan Doherty, Jim Tashjian, Matt Gold, Michael Caskey, and Rob Clearfield––unleashed a unique sense of structure, as well as an appetite for musical adventure, that resonated within the walls of the recently opened and sonically sophisticated Sleeping Village on April 28, 2018.
