Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on December 07, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Roger Hoover! Another year older, wiser, and still hitting all the right notes. From your soulful storytelling in "Jukebox Manifesto" to the heartfelt melodies of "Lay My Rituals Down," you've proven that roots music isn't just alive—it's thriving thanks to you. Whether backed by the Whiskeyhounds' gritty grooves, the Magpies' harmonious charm, or the Hurt's raw energy, your voice remains timeless.

Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as a standing ovation at an Ohio gig—and fewer aches than loading gear after midnight. Keep singing those gospel truths; we're all ears (and applause)!
