Hoyle Brothers

Learn to two-step with Nicolle from The Galaxie at 6:30pm, right before the show! Honky Tonk 2 Step is a cousin to both the "boot scooting" Texas style 2 Step, and classic swing, complete with turns, twirls and the familiar progressive 6 count shuffle around the floor.

The Galaxie instructors have been teaching classic American social forms in Chicago, nationally and internationally since the mid 90's, and continue to be the driving force in community building, innovation and outreach to a broad scope of students though-out Chicago. The goal of bringing together communities through the joy of expressing a variety of music and dance forms has never been more needed or more realised than is it now.

The Hoyle Brothers 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. They 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.

"The honky-tonkin' Hoyle Brothers are as country as it gets. Slathered in steel guitar, these easygoing originals remind me of a neon buzz, a beer buzz and a "you gotta see this band" buzz." — Country Music Television
