Lyric-Driven Americana with flatpick grit.
Mac Hoffmann is a Minneapolis-based songwriter working at the intersection of the personal, the political, and the absurd. His songs are rooted in Americana, shaded with folk, blues, and bluegrass.

With a background spanning courtrooms and codebases, breakdowns and breakthroughs, ambition and surrender—he treats songwriting not as therapy or hobby, but as vocation: a daily discipline of precision, ache, and restraint.

The words lead. The music listens.

His debut single, The Fall of the Velvet Hammer, arrives June 16, 2025.

Drawn from his years behind closed doors in the halls of power, it’s a stripped-down reckoning with corruption, silence, and the cost of looking away.

His first EP, Midwest Finesse, follows in July—quieter, slyer, full of mischief, hesitation, and bruised affection.
