Chad Hoffman is a soulful, solo-acoustic singer/songwriter based in Southeast Michigan. Chad is a passionate live performer whether he is playing his own material or reinterpreting cover songs. His original works conjure sounds of his many influences including Cat Stevens, Pink Floyd, the Eagles, Pearl Jam, Beck, Radiohead and Ben Harper.

Before moving to Michigan, Chad was the leader of several Columbus, Ohio based bands including Aunt Dick, Marblehead and Orchard. In 2001, Chad released his first studio recording, the acclaimed Marblehead EP, "Secrets Locked Away." In 2003, he began focusing on his career as a solo-acoustic musician. He has since honed his skills as a songwriter, while developing an impressive catalogue of classic and modern cover songs which he performs with a fresh new spin. In late 2006, Chad moved to Rochester Hills, MI, just outside of Motown. Shortly after this transition, he began recording his first solo album, which is expected to be released later in 2010.
