Outpatience is all about providing a fun time for audiences of all ages, provided they can get in to the venue. If not, they can listen at the fence. The band plays a variety of cover tunes (and originals disguised as covers) from various genres to keep the crowd going and guessing, "What are they gonna do next?" We're constantly adding new songs, much to the chagrin of all of us! Hey, we get bored. If you're into another band playing a cover of "Brown-Eyed Girl", then you'll be disappointed. Okay, if you buy us drinks, play the tambourine on "New Age Girl" so Mark doesn't have to look like a geek, and are very, very nice... We might do it. BUT, if you'd rather hear a band go from Johnny Cash to the Clash, followed by Violent Femmes, Neil Diamond (yeah, Neil. It's cooler than you think, believe me) and Pink Floyd, then stop by.
The Hoyle Brothers approach their music the way a preacher might prepare for a sermon: Reference the good Book, find a theme that resonates and deliver it with fire and passion. That's what makes The Hoyle Brothers so special. Their brand of genuine country music draws from the genre's deepest traditions--lyrics that speak universal truths, melody lines that melt your heart and two-step rhythms that make your boots scoot. The Hoyle Brothers didn't set out to reshape the country music landscape. The boys just wanted to play the kind of music they heard as kids on AM radios--tunes that their fathers hummed on the way to work and that brought on tears when family life got a little rocky. Since the start of weekly residencies at Chicago's The Hideout and The Empty Bottle in 2002, The Hoyle Brothers have earned respect and recognition from a growing number of fans and music critics who find the boys' purity of purpose and first-rate musicianship irresistible. Some go a step further, predicting The Hoyle Brothers will eventually show Nashville that its current roster of pop-minded, new country stars needs a little of The Hoyle Brothers' battered boot leather and real country soul. For their part, The Hoyle Brothers invite you to see what the buzz is all about for yourself. Check out their touring schedule, sample some of their fine real country music and don't forget to pass along a "hi-dee-ya-ho" when you see the boys live.
