Patrick McCoy is a seasoned singer and songwriter from Menomonie, Wisconsin. Growing up in Minneapolis, he spent late nights tuned into clear-channel AM radio stations like WLAC in Nashville and WLS in Chicago. Those distant airwaves introduced him to the exotic sounds of rhythm & blues, Sun Records rockabilly, and the Chicago blues of legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf-sparking a lifelong love of American roots music. His sound is deeply influenced by the Mississippi Delta, Memphis and Louisville’s jug band traditions, Appalachia, New York’s Tin Pan Alley era, and the heartland legacy of artists like Woody Guthrie & Bob Dylan. Come experience Patrick’s unique interpretations of classic covers, heartfelt original songs, and a little music trivia along the way.

Little Way is a duo composed of husband and wife Braedon and Kayla Hoecherl. We play country music and believe good words and truth matter more than pristine production. We play a mix of well-known songs, new and classics. From artists like Willie Nelson, Alabama, and Garth Brooks to Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, and Chris Stapleton. We throw in some of our unique preferences as well, including Flatland Cavalry, Muscadine Bloodline, and Charles Wesley Godwin. We’re not about perfection, so you’ll hear our little mistakes and unrefined techniques. At least we can say it’s real. Music has been a part of our lives for quite a long time. We met at a summer camp where we have played in the band for years. Braedon has played music for 10+ years, and Kayla has played for many years as well. We record music in our small home studio tucked away in the northwoods of Wisconsin.
