Hank Ruff
Hank Ruff’s sound is a product of the music he grew up on, blending the fiddle-and-steel twang of 90’s country with a modern edge. Raised in Southern Indiana, Hank was surrounded by hardcore country music from an early age. By 11, he had picked up a mandolin and was playing at bluegrass jams, soon transitioning to guitar and diving into his favorite ’90s country hits from the likes of Clint Black, Wade Hayes, and John Anderson. In high school, Hank decided to learn some newer country songs to play at parties hoping to impress the girls. This fusion of his old-school roots and modern influences is at the heart of Ruff’s music today.
Ruff began writing songs during his senior year of high school, many of them with his dad, including the fan-favorite “If the Boot Fits.” A graduate of Indiana University, Hank writes music that stays true to his life experiences, navigating young romance, heartbreak, late-night partying, and friendships forged along the way. These stories are woven into his music, creating songs that resonate with a wide range of listeners.
Hank’s 2022 EP, Hellbender, soared to the #1 spot on the iTunes all-genre chart, solidifying his place as a force to be reckoned with in the country music world. He’s shared the stage with country chart-toppers like Jelly Roll, Hardy, Jordan Davis, Rodney Atkins, and Warren Zeiders. Known for his high-energy performances, Hank continues to captivate audiences across the country.

Tyler Hammond
Like many of today’s southern stars, Tyler began his journey singing in the church choir and practicing three powerful chords that every guitarist learned first. When he arrived on the campus of Georgia College and State University, he encountered a whole new scene that would ultimately shape him and his music.
His fame began at a local club where he used his music to entertain college kids on Tuesday nights. “It’s always a good sign when you play for a room once and return two months down the road to a crowd that has tripled on simply word of mouth.” Fast forward a few years and Tyler earned the opportunity to play with many of the mentors he used to admire. He and the band perform over 150 shows a year across all parts of the southeast and has shared the stage with a number of idols including Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan, and Cole Swindell.
