Hard Lessons’s members met in 1975. Aretha Franklin heavily influenced the early work of the group. Hard Lessons began performing at the college bar Anyplace. The lead singer wanted to start a band since he was in grade school.

The band recently finished their newest project, but they are thinking of what is next to come. Hard Lessons's members hope to collaborate with other artists while they tour.

Hard Lessons were convinced their hard work had paid off after their first single rose to the top of the charts. The band regularly played at Decoy before making it to the big time.

Hard Lessons realized that their dream of making an actual life for themselves as musicians had come true as soon as Karen Klinger started a fan club for the group in 1980. The fan club grew from a few dozen to a few thousand after Brenda Wilmouth created a website for the band and a national tour gave the band plenty of exposure.

The group has a love affair with Seattle so they are sure to stop by and play a show whenever they are touring. The group has all their tour information, from the tour schedule to the latest Hard Lessons tickets released, on TheSeats.com.
