In A Week is our look back at Hozier highlights and happenings from the previous week.
News
This week Instagram brought in changes to how people will be able to view posts, so we thought the time was finally right to unveil our newest page. Now you can see the last 3 Instagram posts from Hozier, each of the band members and ourselves in one handy spot. Bookmark this page and never miss another Instagram post.
Also, we’ve updated our post on Raven, Hozier’s new Danelectro Guitar to include some specs and a few good photos.

Speaking of senses of humour, April Fools’ Day brought this hilarious parody article on Hozier from the University of Wisconsin.

Live From The Artist’s Den
Live From The Artist’s Den episode with Hozier will air this week, but it will not air on the same date in all regions. Although, the show’s website says “Starting April 8th” we have seen some mentions of people seeing it in their television listings on April 7th.
In the USA the show airs on PBS. You can check your local public television listings here.
International viewers can check this link to see which channel might carry the show in your region.
