2010 was a busy year for Jamie Hoover and Steve Stoeckel. After a trip to Tokyo with their bandmates in the Spongetones near the end of 2009, Jamie and Steve released English Afterthoughts, a 12 song CD featuring tunes written and performed by the two of them. This record garnered rave reviews from The Virginian Pilot, Charlotte’s Creative Loafing, Alan Haber (Pure Pop), and JAM Recordings, among others. It has also been enthusiastically received by fans, and was chosen as a Top Ten Pick by Bill Kopp “The Musoscribe.” Jamie and Steve began performing these and other co-writes as an acoustic duo.
One highlight was opening for Bob Lind, a favorite singer songwriter, in March. They also were invited to Nashville to perform Rubber Soul with the Long Players, a band of Nashville studio musicians who recreate classic albums on a yearly basis. And of course a big highlight is winning the CD of the Year Award from LadyLake Music in 2010. Jamie and Steve are thrilled at the honor.
Jamie and Steve are currently working on a new project: another duo CD entitled “The Next Big Thing,” as well as performing, both as a duo and with the Spongetones.
