The Hooten Hallers w/ Lucas Wayne & the Cottonmouths

For the past seventeen years, The Hooten Hallers have been crisscrossing the country as inveterate road warriors, bringing their peculiar vision of Americana: a fiery, bluesy, rock and roll fever dream birthed in Missouri’s fertile musical heartland. They’ve put so many miles into the road that they’ve burned through multiple tour vans and left twisted metal and frayed rubber strewn across the road behind them. The Hooten Hallers are known for their incendiary live shows that must be experienced to be believed, taking the listener on a dynamic journey from explosively raucous blues to expressive three-part vocal harmonies to danceable grooves.

The enduring hope and tinges of madness from this power trio are driven by the infernal vocal growl and swirling electric and lap steel guitars of John Randall, the powerful drumming and falsetto howl of Andy Rehm, and the burning baritone and bass saxophone lines of Kellie Everett. The Hooten Hallers have always been musical colliders, smashing together blues, garage rock, country, punk, and a hint of jazz into a refreshingly unique sound. It’s Morph*ne meets ZZ Top mixed with a dash of George Thorogood and Tom Waits. But anyone who has seen this band live knows that this group is unlike anything they’ve experienced before. When The Hooten Hallers come to town, you know it’s gonna be a party!

Lucas Wayne is a storyteller at heart singing about the quirks of everyday characters and the experiences of growing up in rural Eastern Kentucky and Southern Illinois. Classically trained, his vocal range and natural vibrato leaves crowds stunned. Wayne’s songs are simultaneously funny and devastatingly sad, captivating audiences in bars, halls, and anywhere he can as a solo artist. He is touring now with his band The Cottonmouths whose members have toured extensively with Vince Herman Band, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, and many more.Lucas Wayne’s mix of Country, Bluegrass, and Soul make a sound that is both refreshingly new and also timeless.
