"Fresh Michigan bluegrass on the rise"

Lake Orion, Michigan's Hardline Drive is putting a whole new twist on bluegrass music in the Midwest, with their own unique mix of traditional and contemporary sounds. The high-powered two-part female harmonies of songwriter Toni Erskine and mandolinist Danielle Smith are addictive, and banjoist David Russell, guitarist Greg Fuson, and bassist Davin Jeffers work like a well-oiled engine. Most of Hardline Drive's music is original, and they've brought their fresh take on bluegrass to venues as diverse as the Detroit Festival of the Arts, the Flat Rock Eagles Club, Kalamazoo's The Strutt, Toledo's Glass City Opry, the Oakland Community College bluegrass series, and Hell Creek Ranch. Opening are the Deadstring Brothers, who describe themselves as "country toughs from the Motor City"; their music blends blues and country in the relaxed and ragged manner of the early-1970s Rolling Stones.
