Roger Hoover (b. December 7, 1978) is a singer/songwriter and guitarist from Akron, Ohio. He is often backed up by the Whiskeyhounds.

His first collection of songs Golden Gloves was released in 2001 on Hayfever Records.

Panic Blues was picked up in 2003 by Columbus, Ohio based Bandaloop Records. Upon release from Bandaloop Records in 2005 drummer Dave McKean (GC5) and bassist Doug McKean (GC5) were added and began recording a follow up to Panic Blues. Doug McKean was replaced by Chris Yohn in January 2006.

Jukebox Manifesto (self-released) was released in 2006. Engineered and produced by Ryan Foltz (Dropkick Murphys) Jukebox Manifesto captures Roger Hoover with his live band, the Whiskeyhounds, in usual raucous form. Featuring lap steel (Freddy Hill), accordion/keyboards (Justin Gorski), and violin (Chris Yohn), Jukebox Manifesto received rave reviews often comparing Hoover to Nebraska-era Bruce Springsteen, Harvest-era Neil Young and Tom Waits.
