In an announcement sent to Exposed Vocals on April 14, 2026, MTS Management Group presented Noble Hops’s Music Man. Utah Burgess’s song follows a fictional traveling musician whose integrity matters more than fame or fortune. The submitted story draws on real experiences and older rock-and-roll lore without presenting its character as a documented individual.

The band recorded with Jazz Byers at Rattle Clack Studio in Pittsburgh. Sessions began in January 2024, were scrapped and restarted that December. Mike Ofca mixed and mastered the recording, and Linda Weber handled the cover art. The source names Shady Lady Records as the releasing label and describes the group’s MTS relationship.

The campaign announced April 11, 2026 as the release date.
