Jack Hoban is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist based in New Jersey and Hawaii.
His new album Blue Beach released Memorial Day 2021.
Jack is known for his unique sound—both vocally and on the guitar. He writes a wide range of music, from stirring ballads, to jazz-flavored adult contemporary, to the funky-bluesy music of his band, Rogues on the Run. The Rogues are currently playing the Jersey Shore and have played many local venues, festivals, and have opened for BB King. They currently have a retrospective “Best Of” album out entitled “1996-2015.” Check it out and all of Jack’s music on:
Blue Beach
Blue Beach is Jack Hoban’s second album of songs about, and inspired by, the sea. It is reminiscent of the great Yacht Rock you love. Many of the songs were written and recorded during the pandemic. Like most people, Jack felt a lot of emotions during this time—happy ones and sad ones. So, as you listen, you may feel, as he did, that life and music are quite like the ocean—with waves of many peaks and valleys. And that is just the natural way of all things. So, whether or not you have a yacht, crank it up, set sail, and enjoy.

Discography
From Jazz and blue’s to yacht rock. Jack Hoban’s full discography shows a mastery for story telling.
BellaMar
BellaMar is Jack Hoban’s first solo effort separate from his work with the Jersey Shore jazz & blues band “Rogues on the Run.” They are songs about, and inspired by, the sea. The call of the waves is deep in our human psyche, but often forgotten except at vacation time. This album allows you to feel it all year long.
Jersey Blue
Jersey Blue is a jazz and blues album that features Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, the world's most recorded drummer. Jersey Blue features a diverse and magical set of songs, with some of the finest drumming of Bernard “Pretty” Purdie's long and illustrious career. Jersey Blue covers R&B to Jazz to Rock to Country. And, of course, the Purdie Shuffle!
