Joy Presents:
The Hooten Hallers are a 3-piece Rock/ Blues/ Americana outfit from Missouri, USA, composed of guitar, drums, and baritone saxophone. They are on tour in support of their concept album, The Devil’s Egg, released on Aug 9, 2024.
A group of three disillusioned teenaged punks find themselves transported into a terrifying alternate universe in The Devil’s Egg, a new fantasy rock opera from Missouri music renegades TheHooten Hallers. Throughout 13 spellbinding tracks, the music flows through a rainbow of musical genres from R&B and metal to punk and prog rock. Captivating audiences with their high-energy romps for nearly 20 years, the satisfying vocal pairing of John Randall’s gravel and Andy Rehm’s falsetto, along with Kellie Everett’s low woodwinds, which weave between basslines and melodies to round out one of modern music’s most unexpected power trios. While musically diverse, the rock opera’s coming-of-age storyline ties it all together, conjuring the science fiction of Stranger Things and the folklore of the Coen brothers to transport characters through an epic and transformative quest. In the end, the kids form unusual alliances to attempt their escape, allowing The Hooten Hallers to take listeners on their wildest, most cinematic journey yet.
The Hooten Hallers will perform the rock opera in its entirety each night, in addition to fan favourites throughout The Devil’s Egg World Tour.
