Jim Hoehn

Jim Hoehn, an Eau Claire native, makes a rare Chippewa Valley music appearance. He is a career journalist/author/songwriter who has carved out a surprisingly successful niche as a performing songwriter since first stumbling out of the pressbox with a guitar.

In addition to performing at festivals and house concerts across the country, he often is the opening act for songwriters such as Rodney Crowell, Marty Stuart, Warren Zevon, Jerry Jeff Walker, Robert Earl Keen and many others.

During his journalism career – much of it spent as a sportswriter – Hoehn has covered everything from plane crashes to murder trials to the Super Bowl and the Hong Kong 7s rugby tournament.

His latest record is the aptly titled “Collection Notice,” a selection of 15 original songs from his four previous recordings – each of which received considerable airplay on Americana and folk radio programs in the U.S. and Europe.
