 Cover Band Hello McFly Shoots for Originality

“Hello McFly, is anybody home?”

Yes, the East Hartford duo Hello McFly uses one of the most quotable lines from the 80’s classic movie ‘Back to the Future’ as their band name.

“We just wanted something fun,” said lead singer Brandon Jones.  “We’re kids of the 80’s, so we wanted a nod to something people our age could get a kick out of.  It’s a name where people do a double take because they know they recognize it and then they discuss it.”

The acoustic cover duo has been together for about a year and a half now.  Jones had been in the bands Ghostbox and The Hype in the Orlando, FL area before moving back to Connecticut to reunite with high school friend and lead guitarist James Hajkowski, who currently plays in another cover band Dirty and had been in the local bands Endiya and Slick 66.
