July 2007 Featured Band
Every month, EmeraldCoast.com gets up close and personal with one local musician or band on Nightlife.EmeraldCoast.com. This month, EmeraldCoast.com met up with the Loco Locals.
The conversation was a rapid-fire stream of consciousness - a verbal tennis match. It wasn’t the standard husband and wife phenomenon of finishing each other’s sentences, it was spirited banter between two people speaking in one voice.
That same energy between “Blue Lew” Hogue and his life partner and musical band mate Nora Wixted-Hogue is evident not only in the way they talk about their craft, but also in the music they create.
The remaining third of the Loco Locals - guitarist Butch Blasingame - is the calm in the eye of the storm.
Lew and Nora were talking about how they met and how they began their music careers. Butch just sat back and let them do most of the talking.
