Matthew Hoyle & The Tall Order is the latest creation from Matthew Hoyle. Matthew is a native of North Georgia. He began playing, violin at the age 3, and by age 12 had played with the Northeast Georgia Symphony Orchestra and selected events with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. In high school and college, Matthew went on to develop his songwriting skills. A car accident at the age of 15 put his bow arm in a cast, thus paving the way for the guitar. By the end of college, Matthew had not only learned guitar, but he also won North Georgia College & State University’s Big Man on Campus competition three times, as well as winning Sigma Chi’s Star Search.
Matthew spent a year touring the Deep South solo and with two other bands–The O’Neill Rivers Band and Hoyle & Autry. Matthew has been a recurring act at Turner’s Corner, The Crimson Moon Cafe, The Chestatee Garden and Tavern, Shenanigans, Wiley’s, Eddie’s Attic, Saturn, Avondale Brewing, and numerous other venues. Matthew Hoyle & The Tall Order came to existence while Matthew was living in Alabama. “I had moved for law school, but I was really “missing home”, says Matthew. “I decided to form a band with my cousin-in-law and Josh Wise, a friend from school. One night we were hanging out talking to my guitarist, Austen, about what a good band name would be. Austen is a little person, and he said since everyone asked about it so much, maybe we could be ‘The Tall Order.'” And so, Matthew pulled out his Musician’s Notebook and sourced about 12 original songs to start with. The songs were inspired by everything from early 70’s Willie Nelson to modern Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson.
Matthew Hoyle’s original songs are a mix between Appalachian roots, classic vox tones, outlaw country legends, 90’s sonic resonance, and devotion to the art of the jam. You won’t find this sound anywhere else in the South, and the music is indeed a tall order to live up to.
Additional influences: Johnny Cash, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, John Prine, Doc Watson, Rayland Baxter.
Mid-GA duo Dos Blues Guys, 2016 Atlanta Blues Challenge champs, are coming to a town near you! DBG were Quarterfinalists at the recent International Blues Challenge in Memphis, but they also bring an extensive catalog of classic rock and classic country to their live shows, independently booking over 100 dates in 2016.

This musical partnership began over five years ago when Mobley began frequently sitting in with Andy Johnson’s band, and soon the two began booking duo shows all around the southeast.
Johnson fronts the southern funk band Royal Johnson, based in Macon, and Mobley backs R&B legend Robert Lee Coleman, among others. He recently won the Big Bend Blues Society’s Southeastern Harmonica Championship.

Dos Blues Guys had the recent honor of opening the 2016 GABBAfest at Macon’s historic Douglass Theatre, opening for Marcus King Band and Robert Lee Coleman and the Night Owls. They also recently opened a stellar show in Atlanta that featured the likes of Coy Bowles (Zach Brown Band), Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) and Peter Stroud (Cheryl Crow). The duo just released its debut album, Banditos, recorded at Mid-Night Circus Studios in Buford. DBG enlisted percussionist Dallas Dawson on the album and has begun incorporating percussionists into their live show, beefing up the sound. A digital release of the single “Chicken Hotdog” was released in January, and is available on iTunes, Spotify, CD Baby and several other digital partners.
