The glorious sounds of the Torch were forged in the fires of country music and southern culture in the fall of 2006 when Jason Yeary, a talented, band-less songwriter from Kentucky was walking the lonesome roads of Murfreesboro, Tennessee and a flaming hammer burst out of the stratosphere, scraping the September sky. Angelic whispers and the sound of a wiry, pedal steel guitar accompanied the blazing light through the night. The heavenly noise pierced his ear like nothing had before and the fiery mess left behind nothing but a trail of smoke that spelled out: “HAMMERTORCH”. That smoke became an explosive country rock band from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. With their honest, no-holds-bar, blue-collared approach, Hammertorch has consistently proven why they have earned the label of “Nashville band”: a fierce dedication to music. Given the ever-narrowing closed-mindedness of country music in Nashville, they have their sights set on destroying any and all boundaries that have traditionally limited country music. Members: Jason Yeary-Guitar and Vox Tyler Coppage-Drums Steve Daly-Steel and Guitar Jared Forrester-Bass and Vox Jason Harding-Keyboards and Vox Eric Zarycki-Guitar and Vox
