Hardluck Social Club

Before ASHTON, before the Subliners, before any of it, there was Hardluck Social Club, the first band Ty ever actually committed to. Everything about it was homemade: the logo, the merch runs, the shows. In between there was also a short stint fronting a band called Fake ID, another line on the same early résumé.

It never got a proper ending. New shirts and new artwork have kept surfacing even after life moved Ty from Cleveland to Nashville and back, and he still means to build it into something bigger someday. Call it the first true commitment he made to a career in music, unfinished on purpose.
