The Hookman band was formed on February 28, 2010, when front man Johnnie Lechner met drummer Mike Foster and they melded their creativity and ambition to create what would soon be a pretty successful band. Soon lead, keyboard, and bass guitarist joined the mesh and brought their own creative zest to the flourishing group.
Without many opportunities for gigs in their home of Oakville, Saint Louis County, they decided to open a door themselves. They gained access to a property next to the Meramec River where they had their first annual gig fondly referred to as the Hookman Halloween Hellraiser; it features the Hookman band, The Rockers, the A-Town Mob, and other great additions that vary from year to year. The first year this was held it was mainly family and a wide variety of friends and relatives and each year it’s expanded welcoming more and more people into our bandom. Soon after that they acquired their first paying gig at Sidekicks bar in North Saint Louis and then moved on to another--even more successful--annual celebration, Laker Day.
