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.

Songa is a roots folk band led by Mario and Sherry Friedel based in the Chippewa Valley. An acoustic duo weaving a rich sonic tapestry rooted in the heart of Nashville’s songwriting tradition, their music is a soulful blend of folk, blues, country, and jazz, delivered with raw authenticity. With heartfelt lyrics and the harmonies that come from a lifetime of making music together, this will be an intimate night of music to remember. Songa is excited to announce that Sue Orfield will be joining the duo for this special evening.
