Michael and Eddie Hauser began singing, and playing rhythm and bass guitars in
their early teens in Augusta, Georgia. In 1994, they formed a country band and became the house band at Doogie's Neon Moon Café, located in the outskirts of
Augusta. They played there on Friday and Saturday nights during the next two years, and then at Durango's Bar and Grill during most of 1996. During these years, they
also played for private parties such as wedding receptions, and in concerts at Augusta's Riverwalk and Savannah River Rapids Pavilion. Michael soon learned that
he had a knack for writing music and lyrics, and was offered free room and board if he would move to Nashville with an Augusta songwriter and write the music for the
songwriter's lyrics, and sing and record the demos to be pitched to producers, etc. Michael jumped at the opportunity to make the move to Nashville, and Eddie soon
followed. They entered talent contests at the 16th Ave. Café, Nashville Night Life, and various other locations, but soon learned that they needed a complete band in order
to perform regularly. During the next six years, they played with at least thirty different
Nashville musicians at Tootsie's, Legends Corner, Exit In and Glenn's Lounge in Nashville, Paul's Country Club in Madison, TN, and
The Loft upstairs at Springfield Sites and Sounds in Springfield, TN. They also continued to play for private parties such as Lily
Carver's in Franklin, KY, political fund-raising dinners, and a concert in The Center in Springfield, TN. Michael wrote hundreds of
songs during these years. Eddie also tried his hand at song writing and assisted Michael with a few of his songs. They produced their own album, and now have more songs ready for a second album.
But despite all of their efforts, different musicians, and various band name changes, nothing really clicked for the Hauser brothers
until late in 2002. In a short period of time, Corey Choate, a stepbrother and drummer, his best friend and accomplished lead
guitarist, Brandon Wilson, and younger brother and keyboardist, Johnny Hauser, joined the band. Corey played piano at a very early
age, and really blossomed as a musician when he became the field commander of the Jo Byrns High School band in the ninth grade
. He kept this position all four years of high school and became proficient in nearly all of the band instruments during this time, but
probably most proficient in French horn and percussion instruments. He performed in many honors bands during these years, and
is now a music major and percussionist at Austin Peay University. Brandon is undeniably amazing. An owner of a music store once
told another Hauser Brothers band member that they knew Brandon and that "he could play every instrument ever created on God's
green earth". He plays lead and bass guitar, piano, almost all brass and woodwind instruments including the oboe, all percussion
instruments including timpani, and banjo, mandolin and dobro. He did admit that he has never played a lute, sitar, or balalaika, but
give him ten minutes with each of these and chances are he would figure them out too. Brandon is also a music major at Austin Peay
University. Johnny Hauser began playing saxophone at an early age and has a beautiful sound on this instrument, but his even
stronger suit is now in keyboards, which he began playing two years ago. Johnny also plans to major in music at Austin Peay.
The Hauser Brothers are definitely a winning combination, and offers are coming in from everywhere.
