“As Your Heart Breaks” to the opulent masterpiece “Raining Where You Are”, combined with a down to earth yet captivating stage presence, this band takes you on quite the ride. “Once every decade or so someone comes along, takes the bar and sets it way higher than any of us could dream of. Conner is the new gold standard of songwriting. He’s witty, visceral and ties it all up with an unshakable knack for melody. It’s an honor to be alive at the same time as this generational talent.”-David Beck “Conner‘s ability to write songs that meld raw emotion with detailed imagery is something I feel only few songwriters have. His songs make you think long after you’ve stopped listening, and the characters he writes about live in your mind forever wrenching melody.” -William BeckmannWhat is a Droptine you might ask? It’s a rare downward pointing antler found on a white tail deer, the one to watch for, and a nod to the environment and upbringing of the group.
Hooks & The Huckleberries are on a hellbent tear to greatness. Their cross-genre concoction of Americana, Country, and fierce roots rock delivers fans a soulful, magnetic, and boot-stomping good time. Fabled frontman and rebel son-of-a-preacher, Adam Hooks leads the group from the gritty high deserts of New Mexico. The band’s poetic performances have earned them reverence from a growing and eclectic fanbase through relentless efforts on the road.
Their eagerly-awaited second album, 'For the Love of Whatever,' emerged from mastermind producer, Matt Pence's (Jason Isbell, Nikki Lane) Echo Lab studio in Denton, Texas. This new collection of songs has the band exploring emotive sonic depths of striking songwriting, driven by Hooks' lyrical prowess and lead guitarist Joshua Lee's virtuosic blend of roots guitar styles infused with space-age sounds and dreamlike textures. The stage-shaking rhythm section, led by drummer Dustin Hoag, brings a level of raw energy and excitement that elevates every track.
