Hedley's Jacob Hoggard on writing new music and the band's changing sound

Jacob Hoggard and Dave Rosin of Hedley talk about their longevity, their connection to Canada and how changing their sound was vital to the long term success of the band.

The four men in Hedley have come a long way since their lead singer, Jacob Hoggard, finished third in the inaugural Canadian Idol competition. Instead of wasting the fleeting fame associated with reality television, Hoggard turned his attention to his band and has kept it there ever since. Now, after releasing their seventh studio record Cageless​, Hoggard and his bandmate Dave Rosin dropped by the q studio to talk about their longevity, their connection to Canada and how changing their sound was vital to the long term success of the band. Plus, Hoggard takes a spin on the q grand piano.
