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, and we released our first album, titled “Simple is the Hardest Thing to Be” in May.
