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.
