HARD PRESSED is an Old-time stringband, Americana-Folkgrass group from
Paonia, CO featuring:
CORY OBERT (fiddle, tenor guitar, vocals),
ANDREA LECOS (clawhammer banjo, guitar, vocals),
JEFF REYNOLDS (upright bass), and
TREVOR STORM (mandolin, guitar).
Since 2006, HARD PRESSED has been performing both original & traditional
songs / tunes (with a few covers sprinkled in), delivered with rich, heartfelt vocal
harmonies. For 11 years, Cory performed and recorded with the Paonia-based
band SWEET SUNNY SOUTH, performing nationally. Andrea, when living in
Durango, sang and recorded with songwriter Sand Sheff, songwriter Benny Galloway, and others in the rich music scene. There, at a music festival, Cory and his fiddle met
Andrea and her banjo... soon a marriage, and a band, was born! Taking their
music “off the front porch to you”, Hard Pressed may be found playing in regional
venues, festivals, contra dances, or maybe on a street corner, whenever they find
the opportunity. Drop in a coin, be entertained, and maybe they won't be so
“hard-pressed” after a while!
