Andrew Hardin was singer-songwriter Tom Russell's right hand man for more than 20 years, touring & recording in the 1980's and early 90's as The Tom Russell Band's fire-breathing, country-rock electric- guitar slinger, producing or co-producing several of Russell's albums on Rounder and Hightone, and, through 2005, touring with Russell as an acoustic duo. Wielding a un-processed, direct- to-the-board Takamine dreadnaught onstage, Hardin balances transparent song support with impassioned soloing that significantly raises the emotional ante of Russell's story-songs.
