Hobo Johnson · Tune In
Hobo Johnson is the stage name of Frank Jorge Lopes Jr., a Sacramento-area vocalist, rapper, and spoken-word performer who fronts the band Hobo Johnson & the LoveMakers. He worked at a Sacramento pizza restaurant and, after being put out of his family home as a teenager, spent a period living in his car before pursuing music. In March 2018 the band submitted a stripped-down "Peach Scone" video to NPR's Tiny Desk Contest; the clip went viral, drawing millions of views, and the group recorded an official NPR Tiny Desk Concert that September. His emotive, rapid-fire delivery blends rap, spoken word, and indie-alternative. Releases include The Rise of Hobo Johnson (2017), The Fall of Hobo Johnson (2019), and The Revenge of Hobo Johnson (2021), via Reprise/Warner.
