   About The Other Chris Hardy
First off, this player contains the songs on my CD, all available for free streaming:

And now here's a truckload of my older songs (for my older fans):

The Other Chris Hardy is just one guy, a few musical instruments, a home studio and a very wide spectrum of interests. Chris Hardy (the same one as the "other" one) began his musical journey in the late 70's in the greater Boston area as a fan of Devo, Al Stewart, The Police, most Dixieland music & the Doctor Demento show. He learned how to play drums, guitar, bass and also to sing and write songs.

After spending 6 years in the 434th Army Band in Fort Gordon, Georgia as a percussionist, he developed his own songwriting style - tasteful, sometimes twisted and varied. His influences include Robyn Hitchcock, XTC, The Police, Foo Fighters and just about anything that sounds like itself.

Once out of the Army, Chris spent many years in Augusta, Georgia playing his regional cult-hit song "Cows" in various bands, including "Nervous Boy", "Sylvia's Advice" and "The Deadbolts".

Why is he called the "Other" Chris Hardy? He explains, "Well, if you Google 'Chris Hardy', you get all kinds of people who aren't me, so i had to add a couple words to let everyone know that I'm not those people."

Now living in North Carolina, Chris spends most of his musical life with "3 feet up", an original acoustic pop 2 piece band that he shares with his lovely wife Victoria. They have 3 CDs out currently, available at http://cdbaby.com/3feetup .

My first full-length CD (including COWS) is available here:

The great art of giving consists in this:
the gift should cost very little
and yet be greatly coveted,
so that it may be the more highly appreciated.

rfk  11/20/1925 - 6/6/1968


"few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...it is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strakes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current wich can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

robert kennedy,
day of affirmation speech at university of cape town in june 6, 1966


Robert F. Kennedy was a man of passionate conviction, carrying a message of change, and for the forlorn and dispossessed of America, a message of hope. <br />-Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
