Biography

The Los Angeles, California based Hard Miles Band "HMB" performs original music that is straight up rock and roll. Their sound- a fusion of flush, crunchy vintage electric guitar rhythms, harmony-layered vocals, and good 'ol R&B. Loyal fans call the quintet's performance "visually entertaining" when catching them at B.B. Kings, Hollywood's trendy Viper Room, "biker friendly" and private events.

Tim Palmatier- HMB front man and lead guitarist is a pure entertainer, but at 6-foot-6, the heightened intensity he projects is more than a consequence of his tree-like frame. Tim's performances are his own brand of mojo.

Cheryl Pederson- Nothing can diminish the gutsiness of her voice. Cheryl adds delicate, favorful harmonies to the songs, but what sets this classically trained musician and artful flute player apart, is her ability to belt out the blues without pity.

Warren "Wood" Vitale- With years of honing his chops on everything from rock, jazz, to fusion, this East Coast Native maintains the solid backbeat of the band with his controlled, yet melodic drum groves. He is the heart of the band.

Wes McNaghten- Wes is one of the funkiest bass players this side of the Atlantic. To see him play is to understand his nickname, "The Machine." Rendering full melodic fingerpickn,' he plays the way some meditate: in a consuming, trance-like state.

Paul Burger- This native Angeleno, way back at the tender age of 16, heard the sirens beckoning him, lurig him with the ability to throw down any song, in any style- the likes of Buffalo or Butterfield. Perfect pitch is pure Paul, who, as harp player for the band chose an instrument always in tune.
