Josh Hoyer's Colossal 4: Clara Jayne

Carried by a gentle soul groove and warm electric piano, “Clara Jayne” is Hoyer’s love letter to his daughter, celebrating her freedom, openness and the way she makes the world feel new. With rich, soulful vocals, driving keyboards and a groove built for the stage, Josh Hoyer brings classic soul into the present. Drawing from Memphis R&B, New Orleans funk, Stax and the blues, Josh Hoyer’s Colossal 4 pairs powerhouse musicianship with songs grounded in honesty and human connection. Hoyer built a national following with Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal, the six-piece band he led to first place at the 2025 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Now fronting a leaner ensemble, he brings fresh chemistry and renewed energy to the music.
