Winners of the 2009 Posty for “Best Utah Rock Band”, The Wayne Hoskins Band has spent the last two years focused on writing and recording their music, as well as performing at featured venues around the Western United States.
Formed in 2008, band members Dustin, Dave, Mike, Carl and Eric combine to create music from beautifully powerful rock choruses in songs like "Something Better" to epic ballads like "I'll Be Right Here"...the band has captured the attention of a large fanbase of passionate music lovers and classic rock enthusiasts. Dustin’s vocals and lyrics give listeners a window into themselves and shed light on music and emotion. Conceptually simple, the greatest element of The Wayne’s efforts is the chemistry of the musicians.
The Wayne’s resume includes live performances at THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL, two invitations to the exclusive Acoustic All Stars Festival in Park City, Utah, the Promenade Music Festival in Boise, Idaho and the Project Green River Music Festival. The Wayne was also a featured artist at the Utah State Fair.
Most recently, The Wayne Hoskins Band performed with SAFETYSUIT, as seen on VH1's Top 20 Countdown, to a crowd of over 1,000+ excited fans. One fan had this to say about the show: "The Wayne Hoskins Band was AMAZING! I really enjoyed their music!" (--Ashlee from Provo, Utah)
Influenced by The Frames, Justin Currie and Todd Thibaud, The Wayne falls into a cross-genre; compared to Counting Crows, Ray LaMontagne, The Fray, Lifehouse and Daughtry, the best way to describe The Wayne might simply be – classically good.
The EP "Breaking Here" will be released NOVEMBER 13th under the ROCKFISH RECORD COMPANY label; with a SOLD OUT party to kickoff the music!
Fans are already looking forward to The Wayne's FULL-LENGTH STUDIO ALBUM, set to release in SPRING of 2011.

A Way to Give..
Recently, we have had an organization that has touched our hearts come into our lives. Hope Kids is an non-profit group that helps kids and families that have cancer, or life threatening disease develop hope, acceptance, and the will to live. A quote from their website:
"We have an ongoing program of regular highly-anticipated events and activities to which all the children and their families in our program are invited. This helps restore fun, excitement and hope to what can be a difficult and uncertain future. Believing that the power of a "wish" is in the anticipation, we have created a program where there is constant anticipation of what is coming next, strengthening a child's ability and willingness to fight."
The SmashBash festival is donating part of the proceeds from door entry fees ($5 per person) to this inspiring foundation, in the Salt Lake City Chapter of Hope Kids. We appreciate the hard work that C.R. and Amy Oldham are putting into this organization to help families and children to regain hope.
