Hooten Hallers

Seeing The Hooten Hallers perform can be a life-changing experience.Their shows are fun, fascinating and a little bit scary. It is like being on a rickety, broken-down roller coaster. You are barreling down the track, not quite strapped in, with the wheels creaking from the strain. The whole train is shaking to pieces, and there is nothing
ahead but more uncertainty. You don't know what's around ...the next curve, but you know there is a chance that it could shake you to your very soul. Their music is an amalgamation of classic American styles and more modern rock n' roll: rifling through and mixing blues, punk, country, and even gospel in turn. We'll just say "Rock n' Roll & Hillbilly Soul".

The Hooten Hallers were formed in Columbia, MO in 2006: playing open
mics and house parties until they developed a local following. For the
next four years, they branched out and played as many shows around the
midwest as they could, including several small festivals and short
tours. However, it wasn't until early 2011 that The Hooten Hallers
began touring nationally. Since then, they have been on the road
almost full time. 2012 will likely bring an even busier tour schedule,
with a route encompassing most of the United States.

To date, The Hooten Hallers have released a number of live and radio

bootlegs, two full length studio albums ["We Have Friends"(2008), "The
Epic Battle of Good and Evil"(2009)] and one live album ["LIVE at
Widow's Peak"(2010)]. February 2012 will see the release of their
latest studio album, "Greetings from Welp City". This album was
recorded entirely live in studio, and finally combines the energy of
their live set with the fidelity of a studio recording.

...The Hooten Hallers. They're coming, and you can't stop them!
