HARD DRIVIN' GRASS - BLUEGRASS BAND
BLUEGRASS AT IT'S FINEST

 

          The Hard Drivin' Grass bluegrass band was formed in March 2006 when Mason Thomas and Zack Mays met at Cabin Fever-Pickin Party in Hampton, Va.  They are from Amherst County in the Central Virginia area. This young band consists of Mason Thomas on guitar and lead vocals, Zack Mays on dobro and harmony vocals and Zack's twin sister Samantha Mays joined on to play the stand up bass and also sing lead & harmony vocals.  Charlie Llewellyn from Buckingham Co. is the banjo player and Spencer Blankenship is the mandolin player. They are inspiring young musicians with a sound of seasoned veterans.
          They recorded their 1st CD, "Pickin' Proud" with 2 original songs in November 2006. In September 2007 they took 1st place in the 8th annual V.F.M.A. State bluegrass band championships in Chesterfield, VA. Their 2nd CD "The Last Train Ride", was released in January 2008 which included another 3 original songs. And the latest and 3rd CD "Silence of the Heart" released in January 2009 had 5 HDG original cuts.
          This young band has come a long way in just a very short time. From their own music to traditional bluegrass they are sure to entertain with powerful picking and strong vocals.

 

Hard Drivin' Grass is still "Pickin' Proud"
