The Great Northwestern Hoboes known simply as 'The Hoboes' to their family and friends, have been honing their craft for over four years in their native Liverpool. Extensively rehearsing, recording, writing and gigging throughout the UK, they display a vigor not often seen and their harmoniously crafted songs are the result of their hard work. After being watched at their first gig, The Hoboes were signed up by Liverpool-based Viper Records to release two singles, 'Between Catharine' and 'Hope and Change Your Tune'. Both received excellent reviews and were broadcast on national and local radio, throughout Europe and across the Atlantic in the USA. Past performances at In the City, The Mathew Street Festival and most recently Liverpool Music Week, were widely considered as highlights of the events and in 2007 they began running Olde Time Religion, their own monthly music night at The Zanzibar Club in Liverpool. It has quickly gained a reputation as one of the city’s most popular music nights; attracting a very strong local following as well as attention from the national and local press (The Guardian, The Metro and The Liverpool Echo). They plan to release a new single in June.
