Hard Six

Hard Six is an original band from Ventura, California. With a sound that combines 50’s rockabilly, 40’s country, and 70’s punk, Hard Six creates hauntingly melodic and energetic rock and roll which appeals to both vintage and punk audiences. Hard Six is largely credited with reviving the Rockabilly / Psychobilly scene in Ventura which has led to many notable bands returning to Ventura for successful shows in recent years. The band has shared the stage with many great artists such as Reverend Horton Heat, Nekromantix, Agent Orange, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist Wanda Jackson, The Blasters, The Polecats, The Paladins, Three Bad Jacks, Slim Jim Phantom, Robert Gordon, Big Sandy, Los Lobos, James Intveld, and many others.
