We are Brent Hoodenpyle & The Loners, a traditional - alt country, hillbilly, folk, Americana whatchacallit music band based out of Chicago, Illinois. In this world of "corporate country" we're doing our best to keep the flame alive by playing real country music. We play our own instruments, write our own songs, and when we run out of our songs we do covers of people we like. Whether it's in the award winning crying-in-your-beer tune such as "Picture Show In My Mind," a historical story song like "Damn Yankees" or a 1950's Nashville rocker like "Run Back To Him," you'll hear the influences of traditional and alternative country artists such as... Steve Earle, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, and Gram Parsons, just to name a few.
