Hardworking to her core and guided by an instinct for honest storytelling, Chloe Hoecker has been building her career the long way—one stage, one song, and one audience at a time. Often referred to as “Missouri’s Country Sweetheart,” Hoecker combines powerful vocals, energetic performances, and a warm-but-witty presence that makes her immediately disarming. It’s a balance of sweetness and quiet fire that has become her signature.
Raised in Missouri, Hoecker began performing acoustic country shows at just ten years old, logging hundreds of performances across her home state before most artists ever step onto a real stage. Those early years shaped more than her confidence—they instilled discipline, humility, and a deep respect for live music. By the time she reached her late teens, she began shifting her focus inward, turning toward songwriting as a way to better articulate her own experiences and emotions.
That evolution marked a turning point. Hoecker’s songs are deeply personal without ever feeling insular—lyrics rooted in real moments, delivered with a sincerity that allows listeners to find their own stories inside them. There’s an ease to her writing that reflects classic country values, but with a modern emotional awareness that keeps it feeling current. Whether exploring judgment, heartbreak, nostalgia, or pride, her music isn’t designed to impress—it’s designed to connect.
Now splitting time between the road and Nashville studios, Hoecker is actively recording what will become her debut EP, slated for release in early 2026, following four singles released throughout 2025. While she resists being boxed into a single country sub-genre, one thing remains consistent: she wants her music to make people feel something. And yes—there will always be a fiddle in the band.
Chloe Hoecker will bring that spirit to Opening Bell Coffee on May 7, 2026, at 7 p.m., offering Dallas audiences a chance to experience an artist who has already put in the work—and is just getting started.
