Bad Drivers

Safer on the stage than on the road...

About Me

Bob and Heather originally met through MySpace in late 2006, when Bob invited local music enthusiasts to attend a performance. After the show, they went for a drink (Heather tips in beer), and they discovered a shared fondness for Guinness, harmony, and juvenile sexual innuendo.
After Heather joined Bob onstage several times, they decided it was time to come up with a name. Since both are originally from New England (Bob hails from Western MA, and Heather is a Rhode Island gal), and as both are particularly poor golfers, the decision was easy. Thank goodness they hit notes with more accuracy than they do golf balls.
Latest news: The new demo is now ready and making the rounds!! Thanks to Dr. Dana Crawford from Albany Med (and a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame) for use of his recording facilities. Additional tracks were also recorded by Jim Connelly. Tell your favorite hangout to book Bad Drivers!!
