About
The Hootchies are a professional 4 person band consisting of keyboards, bass, guitar, drums, saxophone, two lead vocals and one backup vocal. We play a style of music we call "Northern Fried Rock".
What is Northern Fried Rock anyway? Northern Fried Rock is a combination of Southern Rock, New Orleans Funk, Reggae and Bar Band Music sprinkled with an occasional instrumental tune for flavor- played by a band based in the Boston MA area.
We have been playing together for 12 years and have performed countless weddings, corporate events and club gigs. We can perform both a quiet cocktail hour set of instrumental jazz as well as several hours of dance-able R&B, Rock, Soul and Funk from the 60's and 70's with a handful of contemporary tunes thrown in for good measure.
We own a first-rate sound system that is designed to sound full and clear at low volumes but has the power to crank it up when needed. It is complete with wireless mics that can be used for announcements, toasts, etc. We also provide music from an iPod for in between sets. We are more than happy to pre-load it with whatever songs you would like to hear.

Wedding Reception
in Boston, MA
on 08/25/2012
"The Hootchies were amazing! They flew out to Bermuda for our wedding and were very accommodating in terms of learning a few new songs that we requested and tailoring their song list for us. They got practically all of our 185 guests boogie'n on the dance floor and played a variety of funk and classic rock that pleased all ages. Their Grateful Dead and Phish jams were awesome. During dinner they also played a bunch of instrumental songs and jazz that was perfect background music before amping up the crowd for dancing. The guys were super nice to deal with. I highly recommend them!"
