Hardline Drive came together as a band in December 2006, and in a short time has accomplished more than we every dreamed. Each member brings to the band years of experience in both traditional and newer forms of bluegrass music, with a focused attention on producing original material.
While our musical heritage goes back to the music of Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and Jimmy Martin, a significant amount of our influences come from bands like Alison Krauss and Union Station, Lonesome River Band, The Tony Rice Unit, IIIrd Tyme Out, Blue Highway, Mountain Heart, The Infamous String Dusters, Cadillac Sky, and many others. We try to draw from various other styles of music, which helps create the kind of sound that defines our band. As a band, we place a great deal of emphasis on solid timing, and tight harmonies, which is the hallmark of the kind of bluegrass we believe people want to hear. We like to offer our audiences a taste of

The members of Hardline Drive are seasoned veterans with years of experience in other bands throughout the region. We also have experience as music publishers, songwriters, and promoters.
