Columbia, MO trio, The Hooten Hallers, are known for hard-travelling and wild, energetic live shows. Their new album is the culmination of their experiences from 10 years of performing and travelling together.
John Randall’s demonically-tinged vocals and blues-inspired, manic guitar, and Andy Rehm's screaming falsetto vocals and steady drum beat keep the band focused on their unique blend of deep blues and country punk. Kellie Everett brings the power with the deep rumble of her baritone and bass saxophones.
