Chad Warrix and David Tolliver were raised with about 50 miles and another county between them in the southeastern end of Kentucky. Their parents are hard-working blue-collar middle-class, they both have two older sisters, they grew up in small and smaller towns, did well in school, played sports, went fishing, and jumped on dirt bikes and ATV’s every chance they got. When they were old enough to drive a car, each crossed their county line to get to Hazard, Queen City of the Mountains and, says Tolliver, “the social hub for people who grew up where we did.” Warrix concurs. “There wasn’t anything much in Jackson where I’m from, and even less in Hindman, where David’s from. But Hazard had a movie theater and several places to eat.”
Halfway to Hazard are the opening words of “Cold,” the first song David Tolliver and Chad Warrix wrote together several years after each had put Kentucky in their rear view mirror and ended up in Music City. A pain-and-booze soaked ache for love gone cold, the geographical reference to the midway point from opposite directions to the Queen City of the Mountains is one they both know well, a literal and figurative mile marker on the paths both took to become Halfway to Hazard.
A little bit country and a little bit rock and roll describes the duo, and their self-titled debut album, a richly-colored portrait of their lives set to words and music that is both deeply personal and utterly familiar to people with small town roots and great big dreams. Their self titled album is the realization of the yearning that yanked David Tolliver out of Knott County and Chad Warrix out of Breathitt County and set them up together in Nashville, Tennessee, a pairing as smooth as Kentucky bourbon, with an edge as rough as a dirt road.

Welcome my friend, the more people coming together and helping spread awareness is more powerful. I started writing Just over SIX Months ago and have had over 22,500 blog reads! People from all around the world sending there success story’s to me how I have inspired them in so many ways! It is so wonderful! Thank You for visiting our website at www.angelentertainmentfoundation.org and for contributing to our wonderful cause. You ARE a Magnificent person for the fact that you care enough to take your time to help spread awareness. I look forward to knowing you. You can also HELP by putting me on your top friends to help spread the message! I overcame DV thru practicing what I know about ‘The Law of Attraction.’ My passion is to teach others how they can do it as well. READ MY STORY!! Look for… “THE BIG BANG, My husband tried to kill us both, then when he failed, he killed Himself” I was abused as a child then it followed me into my relationships as an adult. I HAVE TRIUMPHED OVER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. We are looking for musicians that will help us raise $$ for DV awareness, Housing, & Education. If you of someone you know is availabe please contact me. TX ~~HUGS~~
