Joel Hoekstra's 13 - From The Fade

Riff‑driven energy fuels From the Fade, the fourth chapter of Joel Hoekstra’s 13, arriving February 27, 2026 via Frontiers Music.

Ten new tracks come to life through a powerhouse lineup: Vinny Appice, Tony Franklin, Derek Sherinian, Girish Pradhan and Jeff Scott Soto. Focused songwriting, soaring hooks and precision musicianship define the record, showcasing Hoekstra’s commitment to songs over flash. From the Fade stands as a bold, modern statement from one of rock’s most versatile guitarists.
