Hoopla in the Hills 2014 - Photos and Review

Posted by: leeway | April 11th, 2014

Venturing to Ohio was a first for me. Attending a festival out of the southeast is another first. Hoopla in the Hills was to be my destination, and first festival of the season.

Upon arriving on Wednesday I eagerly turned into the property grounds and I was taken aback by the beauty of the site nestled down in a valley of the Ohio Hills.  A flowing creek snaked its way through the grounds with big river birches lining the edges. This place looked amazing. What a way to start the festival season!

With a month full of Chicago shows the Brooklyn band Les Racquet predicts a city wide takeover.

Though their intentions are noble the trio have vowed to use force if necessary. The band of road warriors cites proper social structure, a healthy community of the arts and genuine love for Chicago in the springtime as the cause of the city being their target. Each member has expressed their own ambitions on the matter. Carroll of Les Racquet says he will not rest until he finds Dan Aykyroid and convinces him to allow him a co-starring role in the next Coneheads film. Murphy hopes to run for mayor in 2016 and Malone has spoken adamantly about pitching changes for the Cubs he anticipates implementing before the trade deadline. When asked about Aykyroid and the possibility of meeting with Carroll his manager refused to comment. Publicist Lester Racquet confirms Carroll's intentions via twitter however, and added, “I've seen some things, man...” Look out for Les Racquet and remain calm.

Live at Moe's
We are playing shows all month in Chicago. Moe's Tavern has offered us a Live In Artist Residency, whereby we will have discretionary use of the stage as we see fit. We are excited to work on new songs for our next releases and also plan on exploring three part vocal improvisation, collective collaboration and soloing.

Because we have access to a stage we will be set up with an audience in mind. All of our rehearsals, workshops and practice sessions will be open to the public. We encourage anyone to attened. Daniel, Kenny and Patrick will each offer solo workshops as well so stay involved on social media for information on scheduling and workshop themes. Or just stop by and see what we're up to. We are also happy to announce we will be hosting the Wednesday night open mics and the Sunday jazz jams (Sundays, 7-10)
