Tony Hoeppner Bio
Performing and recording music has always been an important part of my life. Growing up in a musical family I remember some type of music being played or listened to around the house. My influences came from a vast selection of musicians like Hoagy Carmichael, Eric Clapton and my favorite band Little Feat. I enjoy writing music whenever I have spare time. For almost twenty-six years I performed regularly with "The Blue Collar Band" around the Midwest area. In January 2002 he left the band to pursue my recording interests. In November of 2003 he finished his first CD project. Digital Wav's two years in the making all of the songs were written and played exclusively by me with the exception of "Jealousy" which Ellis Kell played lead guitar on. More recently I recorded my second CD "It's Not The Way I Planned It" and released it in 2006.
