Raimo (The Original Vibemeister) started the band way back in 1982. They played some gigs, made some demos, then broke up when they got married, had kids etc.

 

When the kids finally grew up Raimo put the band back together in 2011. Kimmo was first to join the new band, then Donald, then Sami. Since then the name The Original Hardway has become synonymous with broken strings, blown speakers and ringing ears.

 

This is old school rhythm´n´blues and rock´n´roll, played by men with sideburns and cowboy boots, no make-up or playback. Men who can hold their liquor, kick ass and get laid because that´s what it takes to play the devil´s music!

 

TOHW's debut cd, "How to Play the Blues" was released in 12th october 2014. To learn more about the record go to the Discography -page

The second best bar band in the world!
