The Hard-Core Troubadours

From 1997-2002 there was a roots rockin’ DC area band called the Hard-Core Troubadours. We played a variety of roots rock, country swing, surf, cowpunk, texas blues, alt country, and rockabilly. There were reunions in 2006 and 2012. Recently we reunited to play for a friend’s memorial party. We all realized we missed playing those great songs together and have decided to fire it up again, plus add some new stuff. We recently played a sold out show at Hank Dietle’s Tavern with The Shambles and it went absolutely great! We’re eager to continue doing occasional shows.

The HCTs are:

Kevin Driscoll-vocals, guitar

Andy Rutherford-guitar, vocals

Louie Newmyer-bass, vocals

Jimi Lethbridge-drums
