The Doohickeys

The Doohickeys consists of singing and writing duo Haley Spence Brown & Jack Hackett. Haley hails from Liberty, Missouri, where she spent her childhood training horses and helping on her grandpa's cattle farm. Jack grew up in a strict Japanese-American household in Atlanta, Georgia where you had to take your shoes off at the door (everything else was pretty lax).

These country wordsmiths bring a humorous twist to their unique brand of country music—an intentional mix of traditional and contemporary, laced with clever jokes and just the right amount of stupidity. Although they might seem to be twisted country punsters on the surface, they're that and so much more.

While they have country roots, Jack and Haley met at USC (FIGHT ON!) while working on the college TV station's satirical news show. They both were pursuing careers in comedy and made a multitude of sketches together. On one fateful evening in November 2021, Jack was hosting his legendary weekend-after-Halloween party when Haley heard Kenny Chesney echoing through the spookily decorated halls. Right then, they discovered their mutual love of country music and began writing their own.

The duo’s shenanigans have earned them 125k Instagram followers, 57k on TikTok, 27k on Facebook, and 11k on Youtube, with more than 50 million views on their self-produced, tongue-in-cheek videos.

The band has performed at notable venues such as the famous Bluebird Cafe, Desert 5 Spot, the United Theatre in LA, and the prestigious Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN (supporting comedian Jim Jefferies). You can usually find them prowling around the LA music scene, delivering their unique spin on country music to anyone looking for a fun time.
