   About Halfway to Hazard
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.

"What Chad and I do is just works on stage and when we put the pen to paper, because we are friends first." -David "It's like throwing music and firecrackers into a blender, and what pours out is Halfway to Hazard."- Chad

""Tolliver and Warrix are the Halfway to Hazard duo, so named because they hail from near that Eastern Kentucky town. Their disc debut is beyond excellent, a gripping story song with a terrific production, a fantastically cool guitar groove and super-expressive, soaring vocals. I hear stardom."" -Robert K. Oermann (Music Row Magazine)

“I saw them live and was blown away, I shared their music with Tim (McGraw) and he felt the same passion." -Byron Gallimore

"These guys are the real thing, the songs are amazing, they have great energy live, and we just had a blast making the record they wanted to make." -Tim McGraw

"Country music superstar Tim McGraw looked on like a proud papa as Chad Warrix and David Tolliver ran through a few of their songs" -Susan Guyett (IndyStar.com)
